I just don't have enough experience with Chicago Grooming Co. to go with the underdog here. Listen, Seville is a Wetshaving Mt. Rushmore scent, whether you think it is overrated or not.

Southern Witchcrafts for me as I appreciate Ptheven’s contributions to this community, their very good vegan base, and the excellent perfumery by Courtney. Plus one time Phteven sent me a bunch of free Grapefruit splash and my vote is very much for sale.

I've really been enjoying this L4 knot, it is very soft but with good backbone and excellent water retention which makes face lathering a breeze. The danger of trying new stuff is now I'm considering finding one of these for myself. The shave was marvelous, a great brush, razor, soap and smells.

This was a really nice combination. Another smooth shave from the MM24, and the blade is chugging along without complaint into the 30's.

Another lovely and smooth MM24 shave. I'm not sure that I've ever tried Samhain before but it's a really nice pumpkin-bourbon-sandalwood mix. Gotta give credit to Southern Witchcraft's Scent Production Division for their ability to take things like pumpkin and banana and do something interesting with them.

Another lovely and smooth MM24 shave. First time using a mixed Boar/Badger knot and I liked it. Pretty dense with more backbone than most badgers I've tried.

The matchup yesterday left me craving a Stirling shave and Ramblin Man is great. Went well with Blugere. Enjoying the Mistura knot as well.

This is the scent that really sent me down the wet shaving hobby/rabbit hole, it was unavailable when I got started so it had a mystique about it, I was excited to finally get a set and it lived up to the hype. That tub I killed a while back and I’m just working my way through the splash before I replace the set. Anyway my vote is for Mammoth!

Final shave for MM24 March. I had major thrill for AyLM when I started. The labels seemed cool, the scents seemed interesting and it was so expensive that it had to be good right? I probably added various sets to my Maggard cart a half dozen times but never pulled the trigger, except for a few samples. Once I tried the samples I quickly realized that it was just soap and my thrill ended. I was happy to try another one of their scents this morning from the traveling sample cache. Matteo 9:11 has an herbal scent to me, nice but nothing out of this world. The name and the frankincense and myrrh scent notes make me think this is a Christmas soap of some sort? Anyway it performed fine and I had a nice MM24 shave.
