Another Shaving Journal

Loved BoB. I’ll have to put it on my list.

Have you guys seen @Dave in KY 's PIF for newcomers? Great opportunity to clear some shelf space in your den!

Pulling New Members out of the Background Pif

The robots are coming for us all. I don't know how I'm just now seeing this, but this is a phenomenal idea, Dave. I'll scour my den, in know I have a couple of things in there aside from Texaus that I'd be fine parting with. Don't mail to me Ben till we gauge where this goes first 👍

Hit the layer of Shannon's Lavender Lemongrass in the MSB3 soap. That is some excellent sweetness! Great BBS shave to start my weekend out right. Enjoy your shaves, Cadre!

It feels like that Black Orchid is lasting forever. Good stuff!

It's nearly done. It's a subtle fragrance; not as strong as other WSP splashes, but I like it.

Actually I had the pleasure of smelling Tom Ford's Black Orchid earlier. Is the WSP inspired by TF? They might've accidentally sold themselves a set of that's the case.

Is the WSP inspired by TF?

Yes, I believe it is.

 

[bentheduck]

Yes, I believe it is.

I know what I'm doing on Friday!

I know what I'm doing on Friday!

Drinking beer, complaining about your boss and napping with your cat?

 

[bentheduck]

Oh. I didn't actually look at my schedule. I'm working.

 

[Graybeard57]

WSP offered it as a limited edition. I doubt I'll buy it again unless they make it longer lasting.

Another day, another great shave. I'm actually getting a little bored with the razor, but it'll pass. The shaves are just so darned good to switch till the Vector release occurs. I'm wondering if they are waiting till after Black Friday to get more orders. Forcing myself to be patient.

• WSP Black Orchid

Finished the Black Orchid this morning. Checking back, I opened the bottle on Sept 28th, so that makes 53 days for this 100cc bottle. Pretty good value. Not sure which bottle of WSP I'll start on tomorrow, but I know it'll be good.

I really like WSP's aftershaves. Most that I've tried are strong enough to double as a cologne.

I like them, too. Black Orchid is more subtle than most. I've gotten compliments when wearing Mahogany.
