Dupe day; keeping it simple and concise for the judges, Cowboy Up is a dupe of Tom Ford's Ombré Leather. I was able to smell them side by side, and it's legitimately identical. The frag is the best frag I've ever used longevity wise, it sticks to clothes until you do laundry. Trying to add to the theme, I used a Hoffritz slant which is a "dupe" of the Merkur 37C. It's a stretch to call it a dupe, but fortunately the guidelines only apply to the lather.
I have drawn a soap label of today's soap here. This was created using a combination of pencils, highlighters, and a Sharpie.
I then had an epiphany after.
