Day 51 of all Bubbles all the time. Yup this one counts, it's labeled WCS but Catie's makes it for them. It's such a great scent, you can’t go wrong with Vetiver and grapefruit.
Also was thinking today, I wear a fragrance all day but never share it because I shave after work. So today I will start sharing what frag l've worn all day.

Atlas Shaves II - Day 18
- Brush: Declaration Grooming Know It All 28mm B14 Badger Knot
- Razor: Karve Shaving Co. Overlander
- Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [18]
- Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Daddy Longlegs - Soap
- Post Shave: Noble Otter - Barrbarr - Splash
- Fragrance: Bentley - Bentley for Men Intense - Eau de Parfum
Daddy Longlegs from TSF has a straight-forward set of scent notes: amber, rum, musk and bay, but the fragrance is anything but simple. The bright, spicy bay rum is equally balanced by the warm amber and musk. Barrbarr and Bentley both paired well with this TSF offering.

The Watchman is a great scent, and I'm glad I swooped it up. I also always enjoy using this brush. If I had to pick one, it might be my desert island brush.

I only ever had a smush of Razberri and Tomato Leaf by TSF (by the generous @[email protected]) but I think I must have used it all up. I liked the base and a few times I was close to buying a tin of TSF, but their international shipping rates are positively insane. So back to scent notes I fall. Every day I don't drop out feels like a gift ever since I lost my airbud.
Today's theme soap, Robot 23 by Talent Soap Factory has the notes: Sandalwood, Black Pepper, Amber, Incense, Resin
And AG 1889 has:
Lemon, Mandarin, Bergamot, Lavender, Rosemary, Basil, Bay, Orris, Jasmine, Patchouli, Rose, Vetiver, Cinnamon, Leather, Amber, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Civet, Tonka Bean, Incense, Benzoin, Rosewood
3/5, phew.

I really enjoy it, and recently, it stopped giving me a frag tingle. Great success!
