Today, I decided to dive into my bathroom apothecary and pulled out the whole Southern Witchcrafts Druantia line-up. Because (1) it’s Vegan, so it fits the theme and (2) who doesn’t want to smell like they’ve just emerged from a mystical forest that’s most likely, probably, definitely haunted by ancient spirits?
I think we’re past the point of anyone here shitting on Vegan soaps, right? Like, we all know Vegan soaps can be on par with tallow soaps. Because this soap lathers up like a dream—if your dreams are filled with druids, spells, and mossy glades. As I lathered it up, I smelled "freshly rained-on foliage" with a hint of "I swear I'm not summoning anything in my bathroom" and some spices to round it out. The slickness, performance, and scent are all excellent. The splash is like getting a slap from an enchanted tree branch, but in best enchanted way possible.
Finishing off with the EdP is like continuing on through the foggy enchanted forest at dawn, where you might just stumble upon a hidden fairy community. The scent of the EdP lingers longer than an unwanted houseguest, but in this case, you won’t mind at all. Plus, the witchy vibes it gives off might make those houseguests think I’m casting spells, so they can get the hell out of my house! I've long said that SW EdPs are the best bang for your buck in wetshaving. The scent stayed as my day went on, keeping me smelling like the mystical woods and spicy amber all day long. It’s perfect for when you want to be that person at work who smells intriguingly enigmatic, like you just might know how to cast a spell or two. #FOF
All in all, SW's Druantia line-up turned what could have been a Mundane Monday Vegan Shave into a Magical Monday Vegan Ritual Shave. I love herbal, earthy scents with a twist of the arcane, so this one is definitely for me. Just gotta make sure I don’t start feeling the urge to dance naked under the moonlight.
Challenge: First, I shave my legs and now I’m lathering on my newly shaven knee? Who comes up with this stuff? Kinda funny to see the line of hair where I shaved to yesterday.

iamhonestlylying’s Daily Top 5:
In honor of “Don’t have a Cow, Man”… My Top 5 Favorite TV Catchprases of All Time:
5) "Bazinga!" - Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. The year is 2012 and something amazing happens in your life. There’s a 40% chance I was saying “Bazinga”.
4) "It's gonna be Legen… Dary." - Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother. Is something going to be super trucking awesome and want to build a little suspense? Here’s your answer!
3) "Did I do that?" - Steve Urkel from Family Matters. No need to apologize when you accidently blow up your neighbor’s garage. Just sheepish look at them and in your most nasaly voice say, “Did I do thaaaaaat?” and all will be well in the world!
2) "What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" - Arnold Jackson from Diff'rent Strokes – Admittedly, I’ve never seen Diff’rent Strokes, but I’ve said “What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?” more times than I’ve said any other catchprase on this list. It’s that Legen-(wait for it)-Dary.
1.) "How you doin'?" - Joey Tribbiani from Friends – If you were a female around Joey and he said that, you might as well drop your panties right then and there.
