Fragrance: YSL L'Homme
Oleo Canard base with the quack fat. Damn good scent. I know this set is a dupe of YSL La Nuit De L'Homme and differs from the fragrance I've got, but I like both. Canard base surprises me every time I use it. It's no darkwing, but it doesn't slouch off either. Gamechanger could be my one and done razor. This is also probably my favorite badger brush. Yeah it's a touch on the small size, but it feels larger than it is while lathering.
I do not have Osama, but I am probably 40% through my Maggard alum block. I don't use it every shave. Really only if a shave felt particularly rough or my lather seemed subpar. I'm not truthfully convinced it really does anything. It'll sting in some spots sure, but does it actually do anything? Everyone rinses it off right away, right? Nobody actually leaves it on their face?
