DeepSea’s Journal

[DeepSea]

My only complaint with GTB is the scent doesn't last. It's a great scent, but I prefer splashes with staying power, as I rarely use frags.

For me it’s one of the only scents that I can get a faint smell of after I wake up in the morning. I’m not a frag user either, yet... before the pandemic started, I would go by the Exchange on my way home from work and give a little spray of EdT from the testers to see what didn’t give my wife headaches.

That's definitely not my only complaint with the stuff.

Don't listen to Don. He's wrong.

Nice run of shaves John and GTB has good staying power for me even if I don't use the EdT so it will differ with different body chemistry's. Might I recommend saving the bottle as I just buy the big boy and fill the little when it gets low.

Thanks Dave. Great idea with the large bottle! That is going on my very long short list of things I want to pick up. Is the GTB EdT an exact match to the AS, or are some of the other note more forward?

Forgot to post this touchdown from last night’s shave.

Deep down in his heart he knows how wrong he really is.

To me it's an exact match

No...no I really don't...

I second this recommendation. I have the big one in red, and will get the green in a couple of months. It's a very good deal. I love both the green and red!

I’ve haven’t tried the red yet. I really need to pick up a bottle now that I have a puck of AoS tallow Sandlewood.

I believe the correct verbiage is that “Last night’s shave helped me build some character.”

Hello Cadre. I’ve had some Very nice shave over the last few days. My stropping has been steadily improving, I can feel the difference now between using good and horrible technique while using the strop. I poked through to the bottom of the tub of Zingari Man and probably continue using it until it’s gone. The CF aftershaves really work with my skin, I may have to add Santa Paula to this list to pick up. Today was a nice relaxing late morning shave that was much needed. This last week at work was quite taxing. It was pretty much start early and work through lunch so we can go home late. I’m sure this next month will be similar but I’ll be mentally prepared for it so all is good.

Thanks Chris! I’m getting as much rest as my 2 year old will allow.

Thanks Tim! It’s amazing how much smoother of a shave I’m getting once the stropping technique clicked with me.

Ah, the mythical bottom of the tub. Nice!
