DAY 20 LATHER GAMES! WHO COPIED WHO!?!?!

  • Prep: Water
  • Brush: DS Cosmetics 30mm Tuxedo Knot
  • Razor: Blackland Vector
  • Blade: Chinese(9)
  • Lather: Stirling - Mountain Man
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Mountain Man splash
  • Fragrance: Dior - Eau Savage

PIC OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

Right, dupe day! I understand, that a lot of people enjoy many of the mainstream EdP like Creed Aventus etc. and when getting into the hobby would like to see if there is anything like that in soap format. But to me all these mainstream perfumes have always been boring in the sense that they are people pleasers, and lack character(for the most part). My choice of the day is Stirling Mountain Man, which is a dupe of Creed Silver Mountain Water. Now I have not smelled this one in real life ever, tried to find it in perfumeries, but alas Creed is not popular in Bulgaria, or they just don't stock it, really I've been to so many perfumeries, and asked "Do you have Creed this and this?!?!", they always stop me when they hear Creed, "Oh no, we don't stock Creed".

I have smelled a lot of perfumes(not that I can fully appreciate all of them), but still it's experience, and my opinion stands! The niche perfumes that you can get from B&M, HoM, SW etc. are tenfold better and original, and you won't encounter someone smelling of it every 20 metres. Btw, about to get some samples of Imaginary Authors, can't wait \^_\^

Maybe I just need to find soaps that are dupes of niche perfumes? Who knows, but I try and stay away from these type of scents, no offence to anyone who likes them, just for me it doesn't ring my bell.

DAILY CHALLENGE

I was not a fan of this shave... Sock shave was better! Between those two sock shave at least provided me with a decent enough lather.. I usually hydrate my lather to the breaking point, thanks to u/sgrdddy's video on types of soaps, very informative!

So in honor of today's theme I made a video as a tribute to a YouTube shaver, cause his lather really is something else! Video with awesome lather!!!

u/Priusaurus didn't anyone tell you to never go for sloppy seconds, can't you find a girl of your own? Also why are you airing the dirty laundry of the last girl I slept with(now also you)? I mean yeah Sandy is a bit dry down there, but when you put the work in, you can get her going, first few times was a bit rough and course but when you get the use of things! I actually gave her a call after reading your post, she said you were even worse than I was.... Shame on you.... And don't act like your lather is well balanced, today's challenge was practically "A day in the life of a u/Prisaurus lather", you felt like at home with that pasty lather. You do so many interviews you forgot how to make decent lather! You caught me off-guard yesterday, but I'll get you back, you just wait!!!!

#FOF

It's kind of the closest I could find in my arsenal in terms of scent compatibility, but I should say that Dior is a much better scent than Silver Mountain Water by Creed. I find this perfume of Creed to be offensively boring, Dior saved the day with adding a bit of life and colourfulness!
