June 30, 2023 - Friday
- Brush: Grizzly Bay "Metroid" / V8 Fanchurian
- Razor: RazoRock Superslant L2++
- Blade: Wizamet (2)
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Bash
- Alum: Osma
- Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. Bash splash + Zingari Man Rescue Potion
- Fragrance: Parfums de Marly Layton EdP
As soon as I got my nose on Bash I immediately recognized the scent to be the same as Wholly Kaw's Amber Bomba. Since Bash is a dupe of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir it stands to reason that Amber Bomba is as well. Another undisclosed dupe scent from WK -_-
It is a wonderful scent though. I could bathe in this. It's rich, sweet, a little bit spicy and just delicious smelling. The next time I decide to grab some frag samples/decants this MFK Grand Soir will be on the short list. Layton makes a decent pairing with the shave set up. When I first used Amber Bomba I thought it was a dupe of it, but it's fruitier.
I was not as impressed as yesterday with the Superslant, but it could have been my lather because I was a bit rushed and out of practice with dense badger knots. Boar brushes seem to make better lather much faster for me these days. Happy Friday/Lather Games Eve all!
