Spun the wheel of Bubbles as u/brokenjaw622 eloquently put it. What’s better than one good smell? Three!!

• Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Crangère - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Catie’s Bubbles - Crangère - EdP

First full use of the Crangère trifecta. I love the EdP, but the jury is still out on the soap. Lather is amazing, but sometimes I don’t want a full perfume level scent in a soap. Maybe I just should have waited for a different day to use it.

I’m not sure of the reason, but of the chypres I have tried, they have a slight soda-like element to them. Anyway, I got a really good shave this morning. Im really pleased how pleasant this Literal Lilac.

It means Shave of the Day. This is a group of traditional shaving enthusiasts and we post what types of razors and soaps we use in here day to day.

Need to use Irving Park more. Its RG dupes and inspirations are probably my favorite “barbershop” scents.

I think I have this Lux Soap base pretty dialed now. While it’s certainly not an end game base, it’s easy to work with, super affordable, smellz are always pleasant, and gives a good shave.

Happy Friday everybody.

Yeah I really enjoy both of them. I really like the Legacy and having the option between a lighter and heavier one is nice.

Top of the World is one of the best scents to come from a wetshaving artisan, IMO. Here’s to a short work day on Friday!

Something about using software primarily of essential oils is really refreshing.
