    Jun 14, 2023 - Witchcrafts Wednesday: Revisiting the Wolf

    • Prep: Klar - Activated Charcoal - Face Soap
    • Brush: Wild West Brushworks Matador 26mm Sweet Spot Badger Knot
    • Razor: Aylsworth Razors Drakkant Plus
    • Blade: Gillette Platinum [8]
    • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Lycanthropy - Soap (Vegan)
    • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm - Aftershave
    • Song: Vivaldi - Four Seasons: Summer

    Lycanthropy was among the first artisan samples I tried, and I’ve never been a fan of Lycanthropy. The scent notes: fir tree, lilac, musk, mildew, moss, Egyptian jasmine, palo santo, white sage, and ozone.

    I was going through some samples yesterday and I came across it. I gave it a whiff on a whim, and to my surprise it was nothing like what I remembered. I found myself craving a shave with it.

    Maybe over time the problematic scent notes in the soap have subsided, or maybe I’ve grown to appreciate some of the scent notes that originally gave me issues. Either way, I’m really surprised by how much my opinion of this scent has changed for me.

    What scents have been like that for you?

    Rating: 4.5/5

      I was pretty excited for Noble Otter/APR - Texaus when it came out, but when I first got my hands on a set I thought the scent strength was weak and was a bit disappointed and couldn’t really pick up on the various notes listed. Over time my love for it grew and I killed the tub of soap but fortunately I still have more than half the splash left that I’m enjoying slowly.

        Texaus is on my list of unobtainium to track down and try.
