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

• Lather Barrister & Mann - The Four Horsemen: War
• Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles - Top of the World
• Fragrance: Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime

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.

• Lather Fanzine Saponifications - Testing… Testing…
• Post Shave: Seaforth! - Black Watch

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.

Have some Seaforth! splash samples to use and figured I can use this soap to really see how it performs. Like most people who’ve tried it, the soap is really damn good for a vegan base.
