u/JoboozeRum is a jerk for sending me Panda as it is an incredible scent. Thankfully, I can squeeze another shave out of the sample he sent. Thanks, I guess.

Lavender, Interrupted is so good.

[–] walden@wetshav.ing 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah it is. My favorite frag. I have Lavanille also and they are similar, but Lavendrer, Interrupted is smoother and creamier.

[–] snooting@wetshav.ing 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, Lavanille leans much darker to my nose. I’m glad to have both of them.

The Ubrique frag is something else as well. That Will guy knows what he’s doing!

[–] walden@wetshav.ing 1 points 6 hours ago

I think I still have some Ubrique soap sample left... good stuff indeed.

  • Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Musk - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio - EdP

1 or 2 more shaves left in this tub, which is thrilling. I've been loading lots of soap to get a good lather, so I'm leaning towards only 1 more shave. Typically when I'm on the last shave of a tub it's sort of like when you're at the end of a container of ice cream -- you have to have a giant bowl at the end, else the next bowl is disappointing.

Sample part 1 of 3. I had a nice shave this morning with Riserva Fresco. I haven't decided how to describe the scent. It's pleasant and fresh.

Yesterday's dog/lather bowl found it's final resting place and was replaced with a different pop-up bowl that the local Amazon Depot had in stock. It worked better. Next trip I'll bring an empty tub or get a small bowl.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
