What's the scent on Waves of Grain?
-
It's floral, but it's not a "girly" floral. I bought it based on the name alone thinking it was more of a hay or earthy scent. Boy was I wrong! It's nice and smells good but I won't be buying a tub.

This was my first shave with Tabac Cream (tube). It was interesting. It came out of the tube with a yellow hue. It ended up being much thirstier than a bloomed puck. Maybe I put too much in the bowl but I went visually similar to what I would scoop from a modern croap. Anyway, it turned out nice and slick. The scent is slightly different than the bloomed puck but not bad. This is still the palmitate formula.
Lazy Friday today ahead of a long weekend. Have a good one!

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I'm widening the definition of Tabactober to include tobacco-related soaps. This helps me keep both the term alive, and sample more of my soap inventory for the month. Great shave today. It would be difficult to have a poor one with this gear.

My first shave with a new-to-me tub of Porch Drinks went really well. I was a little worried the cardamom would burn my face, as clove and cinnamon both have a tendency to. No burn! That bubbles guy sure knows what he's doing.
Haverford++; one day I need to try the TF original.
