Adventus Day 6

Todays satchel was filled with a variety. This is the gift that keeps on givin'!

Today's lather is Signature Soaps Novus Spice. To my nose, this scent is Old Spice and orange juice ... pretty refreshing. The soap is super soft, so I started out like I would with Noble Otter, restricting water. This wasn't necessary. It took a good bit of water and I ended up with lots of shiny, fluffy lather.

I used Southern Witchcrafts Valley of Ashes aftershave. It's an interesting scent and witch hazel based.

Other goodies for today:

  • Stirling Soap Co. - Maggard's Meetup 2025 AS
  • Chiseled Face Groomatorium - Ghost Town Barber AS
  • Captain's Choice - Bay Rum AS
  • House of Mammoth - Alive soap
  • House of Mammoth - Beloved

Have a good day!
