  • Brush: Stirling Synthetic 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette - King C. Chrome
  • Lather: Castle Forbes - Cedarwood & Sandalwood Shaving Cream
  • Post Shave: Captains Choice - Sandalwood Splash

Why is Castle Forbes so expensive? Is it the amount of time this company has survive the ages! Is it the scent flowing that has captivated a mass audience? Is it the ingredients they use? I am still in dismay because I could smell the cedar and all but it was not anything special! I would argue HoM, Stirling, summer break had more memorable of lasting scents. Was my sample bad? Possibly either way maybe I was expecting more. Am I turning into a soap snob??

DAILY CHALLENGE: Well I feel that I am not qualified enough to give a true response for todays challenge. I may be bias and to be honest I am not even sure what all the parameters really are. Case in point I am still learning the terminology and have to search words here and there to understand what some of the posts mean. So here is my utterly and completely bias opinion. I would argue that u/priusaurus is at the head of the pack but u/onionmiasma could be a close second or maybe u/redmosquito. For ROTY is either u/curbside_champ or u/tsrblke . Ya’ll have a good weekend.
