I finally found the courage to use MITA, which was included as the free sample in my last Stirling order. I’m not a fan of menthol, and this one smelled strongly of menthol, but the shave itself was easily bearable. The underlying scent (Margaritas?) is pretty nice! Fun, maybe a bit sweet. I prefer my real margaritas on the dry side, which is hard to find (granted I don’t look very hard), but the aroma of a sweet margarita is still appetizing.

For post shave stuff I switched to Fougere Friday. I should really move this Weinis aftershave, because I get a lot of frag burn from it more often than not.
