Frankly this work week has sucked and I’m glad to have a half day today. This sample puck is lasting a lot longer than I expected. Happy Friday!

Thank you u/partyman97_3 for the reminder of the theme, as I had not checked it. I had to go with a sample u/brokenjaw622 sent me a while back. I’ll admit I was not really a fan of this scent when I initially smelled it, but once lathered up and shaving I was loving it. Finished it off with a splash sample that u/KerblimeySkal sent me awhile back which I think is the watchman. Great shave today with great products from great people in the community. Happy Thursday!

Thank you u/sahenders for providing this month's and my first Buena Vista shave. While the scent is nice, I have no clue what it smells like without looking it up. The lather took me a minute to get right but it performed very well. Roman Spice is gone and now are all of my Seaforth! samplers. Time to start working on some other stuff.

Did he give you the Snoo r/wetshaving punch too? That’s what the red thing looks like to me

Happy Tuesday!

My sample puck is lasting a lot longer than I thought it would. I have still probably a week left of mine to use.

Done with the Black Watch sample. I’m happy to have tried it, but it’s not for me. The sweetness (plum?) is just a little too much for me. I’ve got Roman Spice left of my sampler and I’ve been looking forward to that one the most. Oh, and even after washing this brush with some dish soap, it still had some lingering War funk. Got to keep using it to get it cleaned out…hopefully.

If I had a tub I would definitely send you some. It’s not as bad as others describe but certainly not a crowd pleaser. To me it’s in that same category as Stag with how bold it is.

Vespers was one of those scents I tried really hard to like but never came around to it.

Figured today was the day to try War. To me it is overwhelmingly cilantro-esque with a metallic base. It is certainly not a calming, pleasant, or even enjoyable scent, but it is not wholly repulsive. It is still detectable even beyond my splash and frag. Lather was really good and the shave itself was nice. Happy Sunday!

Extremely good shave and Miss Hoggins loves Azure to boot. Going to the movies later and I am excited for the weekend.

Had a late night early morning ER visit for the miss. Everything is all good thankfully. Using Black Watch for the first time and can’t decide if I love it or am repulsed by it, noses are weird.

Doubtful that I pick a soap or splash of it up, but good enough to enjoy for a few days.

Damn good shave this morning. Heather sampler is gone and I actually really enjoyed that scent despite people thinking it’s a straight old man scent. Maybe I’m in denial…

Yeah I think you’re right. Not the same scent but that initial sharpness off the top.

I get a note from Heather that reminds me of anise, but it’s not listed as one. Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Heather - Notes: Oakmoss, Bergamot, Lavender, Coumarin, Clary Sage, Geranium. Which one of these would I be detecting?

That kills the SSL sample. I could probably get 3 uses per vial, but I’d rather use it than trying to stretch it far.
