I own a total of one (1) full matching set. (u/ItchyPooter would be proud.) Hence, choosing my scent/lather for today was quite easy! Technically, I have two other products (Sea Ice Lime soap and splash), but it felt redundant to shave with both, especially since only one product of each category counts per day. SSL is such a good scent, clearly popular among the sub for a reason, and one of my most oft complimented fragrances.
For my #FOF today, I’m going to break it down per the side contest rubric:
How much are you thinking about your scent choices for a particular theme? Answer: I had one option to meet the theme requirements.
Why did you choose to dickhole (or if you are like me, non dickhole?). Answer: I had to dickhole/trickhole to meet the theme requirements. This is not normally my preference.
How does your scent evolve over the course of your shave and the day. Answer: Unlike many of my fragrances, I find SSL to be fairly consistent over the course of the day, particularly the soap and splash. When using the EdP alone, I definitely notice a shift, and there’s much more subtlety to the individual notes. With the whole trickhole, though? I smell, as my partner describes it, “like man and limes.”
How do your scent choices make you feel? Answer: I love this scent. It brings me joy. It’s a bonus that often I get told I smell nice when I wear SSL, which definitely increases my confidence, but even without this, SSL simply makes me happy.
Can you write out a thoughtful comment/haiku/shitpost to give us an insight into all of this? It does not have to be a million words. Pretty Please – make my life easy. Answer:

In scented realms where sweet aromas soar,
a blend of joy does swiftly come to pass,
that Spearhead Shaving’s Sea Spice Lime, adore,
brings contentment with each fragrant class.
Upon my face, a smile begins to bloom,
as blade of steel glides on my cherished skin,
tahiti lime, a scent that does exhume
the praise and kindness from those who breathe in.
A show’r of compliments like summer rain,
each passerby bewitched by fragrance fine,
well favored and yet never sought in vain,
ocean, pepper, cedarwood do shine.
Oh, Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime, my true delight,
a rare concoction bringing joy so bright.

The only downside to SSL is the slight curvature of the EDP bottle, making stacking a moderate challenge. Only took ten minutes and several variations of stacking to get it to stay.
