Mar 13, 2024 - MM24 7th Match-Up: Spearhead vs. CB
Today's match-up could have gone either way. Spearhead has excellent bases and beautiful vintage scents re-created by Shawn. Still, when I woke up this morning, I just wanted to use Blugère.
The CB Luxury base is fantastic, and Blugère is one of favorite fougères besides Passiflora. I used the Aftershave Lotion this morning for the first time, and I love how it brought out the scent notes in such a different way.

Dec 4, 2023 - Missing Spring
After a week of sub-freezing temperatures and snow, I'm already looking forward to Spring. The shave this morning reflected that sentiment as well.

Thanksgiving Vespers
Christmas Markets have already started here in Germany, and we'll be visiting some soon. Vespers is one of my all time favorite scents, and I'm thankful that I could use it for the shave this morning. Such a fantastic cranberry note.
Thanks to everyone who helps run this Lemmy instance and to those that make this a great community.

Nov 17, 2023 - Lilac and Jasmine
I had another shave planned, but this setup just fit the mood I was in. While lilac might be front and center, it was the jasmine working in the background that tied it all together.
First impression of the Overlander is very positive. I'm looking forward to more shaves with it.

Nov 3, 2023 - Fougère Friday: Full Moon at the Crossroads
It's a #fougerefriday for Halloween week. Fir, mushroom, and musk combinations along with the smokey fougère make this an excellent shave all around.

Warmest Regards and MotI pair really well together, despite being thematically oppositional.

Sep 7, 2023 - Sample September: Propaganda
I found out how great Propaganda smelled all too late. Dr. Jon's had already closed up shop and retailers were selling out of their discounted items. Vanilla, mandarin, sandalwood, patchouli, and musk make this a stand out scent. Followed up with Fú Dào, which adds some additional complexity, namely with the spicy ginger and firecracker, to the established mandarin and sandalwood notes.
The bold Drakkant razor provided a remarkable shave with Dr. Jon's wonderful vegan base.

Sep 6, 2023 - Sample September: Dark Sky Preserve
It was an excellent shave with the Blutt razor this morning. I've tried several evergreen-forward scents from Macduffs, and Dark Sky Preserve stands out amongst them. Carpathia is a dark, clean scent with notes of evergreen, and I love it. I'll probably end up purchasing both of these because they work so well together.
