    December 18, 2024 - Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club

    • Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
    • Blade: allMan - 2 blade disposable (2)
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - You & I (Will Die) - Soap
    • Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

    This is the best this soap has ever smelled to me. I blame @pridetwo@sub.wetshaving.social and his biased review that mentions florals. “Aha!” said my nose after reading that. In the past I just found that part of the scent unpleasant, but being able to call it “floral” makes it smell much better. It’s no longer some strange, volatile, smell, but something natural and real.

    It’s interesting reading other people’s accounts. There’s definitely a mature, darker side to the scent, but I still can’t put a name on it. To other people it’s clearly leather and whatever else, but to me it just smells “good”.

    This event being scheduled today was a big coincidence for me. The theme of this scent is life and death, and it just so happens my wife finished chemotherapy yesterday. It also just so happens that we’ll likely need to put one of our dogs down tomorrow. Life and death, indeed. She’s an old lady at 14 and has had a wonderful life.

      I’m glad to hear your wife made it through her chemotherapy! Having witnessed it with one of my family members, that’s a difficult struggle that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

      I’m so very sorry to hear about your dog. We also have elderly pets. Although we can see the inevitable coming, it unfortunately doesn’t make it that much easier when it arrives. All the best to you and your family.

      Glad to hear about your wife finishing her chemotherapy treatment; very sorry to hear about your elderly dog. Life and death indeed, but losing pets sucks. Wishing you & your family all the best.
