Another Maggards Meet Up sample today as I tried Through the Fire’s The Lake for the first time. As person who lives on a lake I can confirm that this scent is pretty lake friendly. It’s definitely aquatic, though on the whole a little too cologne-like for my tastes. Somethign I might take out for a night sitting out with friends by the water. The base is crazy soft, leaning into a cream or croap, I’d say. I hadn’t scooped something this soft in a bit and probably took a little too much but what a fantastic, thirsty lather. With a bit more dialing in I think it could be stellar.
I hadn’t used my Clog-Pruf in a long while as I had a bunch of new razors to try, including a 1912, but going back to it I’m reminded of why I love it. Aggressive and yet such an easy shave (once you’ve mastered it), with heaps and heaps of audible feedback. Got nice and close.
Same goes for the G5, which I always forget how wonderfully scritch it is.
