Oh boy, here I go killing again! Back on the GTB grind.
Ubrique arrived today, and I'm not yet sure how I feel about it. The EdP is a really nice, warm, smoky leather. There's a lot of complexity here, though, so I'll need to spend more time with it.
Praise the weekend!
GTB++
It's a good one. I don't think I'll replace it when it's done though. Too much other stuff to enjoy!

After the kooky, naughty, obstreperous, and bellicose @pridetwo@sub.wetshaving.social tried to get me kicked out of AS2EB for pointing an inconsistency in his SOTD, a fierce legal battle ensued over my fate, spearheaded by the firewallden of djustice, @walden@sub.wetshaving.social, and now I am, like Lazarus, back from the dead. I still lost yesterday's points, which would appear to indicate that P2 was not entirely wrong. To the untrained eye, that is of course.
Today's theme is West Coast Shaving - Campfire with notes of cedar, cypress, and smoke. To celebrate the saving of my ass, I'm showing it some love with La Forêt de Analingus and its notes of cypress, oakmoss, cedar, vetiver, rose, geranium, juniper, bergamot, grapefruit, vanilla, benzoin, musk, patchouli, and a little more butthole

A very decent shave. I have been using some super duper artisan soaps lately, and figured I'd take a break and use something more "commercial". This stuff is available in the USA at most grocery stores.
The puck is rather small, so I smushed it into an empty tub to make loading easier. The lather was really not bad at all. No complaints, and it has a nice almond type scent.
