Shire has such a nice scent with good strength throughout. It has a thirsty base with a super slick result.
Have a good one!
It’s it the OG or Shire 2?
Hmmm. It’s a sample from Maggard’s and about two months old, so I’d guess Shire 2?

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Luxurious shave today. I didn’t need the third pass, but wanted to enjoy the lather and the shaving experience a little longer. The TNeV EdP is new to me and this was my first time using it. If you like TNeV, the EdP should be a consideration if you don’t already have it.

I’ve been tempted by this many times 😄
As you can tell from the splash, the notes of TNeV don’t dissipate immediately like the citrus notes of a summer scent can. This makes the EdP an all-day event. I fully enjoyed it. And, I got compliments on it … from our dog.

It has been a couple of weeks since using a straight. It went decently well. I thought maybe I gave myself some irritation, and maybe it'll rear its head again later today, but for now things feel nice. I was also thinking the results wouldn't be very close, but it was one of those shaves that feels great after everything is dried down.
