Adventus Day 4

Today, I got a sample of MERShaving Old Timer Spice with a duck fat base. It was quick to lather and turned out pretty slick. The scent was big and nice. Definitely spicy. Strength was probably 6/10 and is sticking with me so far this morning.

I got a collection of aftershave samples (Fine Italian Citrus, Floïd, and Clubman Pinaud) and a couple of boxes of blades (Rapira Platinum Lux [RU], Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless).

Coincidentally, Stirling Soap threw in a bar of their Stirling Spice bath soap with my Black Friday order. Now I'm prepared for the transformation into Darth Spice in the last week of this calendar. :)

Have a good day!
