My attempt at todays challenge.
Late shave today, but damn was it a nice one. This combination was just wonderful. Shire 2 has such a nice mix of violets, vetiver, spices, and tobacco. I liked Shire 2 when I first got it, just liked it. One of the times I used it, though, the tobacco seemed to be a lot more forward; and everything just clicked. Taking in some deep whiffs, it was really easy to picture myself sitting in the Shire, surrounded by bright green grass, flowers in bloom, and with a pouch full of pipe tobacco. It's a very relaxing scent. On top of that, tusk is such an awesome base. It's my favorite base, and I easily have more sets of Mammoth than any other artisan.. It is just super slick and always leaves my face feeling great. HoM post shaves are just top tier. I was surprised to find I like mentholated splashes as much as I do and never knew I would like a balm as much as I do (Z++).
This W&B is another favorite of mine. I picked it up for super cheap, and it didn't need a ton of work. It took a super keen edge, and the steel glides light as a feather. The scales I did myself, Buckeye Burl Forest Moss hybrid. Damn fine shave this evening.
