It was time for a house call from The Doctor. Moved the blade over the Hawk because it has a few good shaves left in it. This is my last Shannon's Soap and this one didn't smell like green weeds! This one is listed as amber and vanilla. Maybe? I got more of a floral note with some fern that took over as the shave went on. At the end of it all, if I didn't have two fern soaps, I would certainly order Shannon's, but the rest really didn't hit the mark for me. Again, I more think there's something in her base that hits my nose a little off, rather than an actual problem with them.
Shave was great. Took my time and even went for a wee touch of clean up. DSBBS my brothers. Oh that feels good on the final rinse when your hand is just sliding around. I hit up the L'Aventure and was a bit surprised. I got a light citrus. Well, it hit hard and then very quickly dissipated without the warm notes that I seem to recall from Aventus. I could be wrong, I only smelled it once. But I am surprised that it's now an hour later and I really need to have my nose right next to my skin to smell anything. And I was worried because the atomizer really let out a pretty good dose and I did three sprays. Maybe this just needs a lot of product?
