Sounds like I should nominate it for a BVWSC Wednesday.

Blugère is great. I've sniffed Crangère and Legenberry and like them too. For me, Blugère satisfies my fruit/fougère needs for now.
It's a song that will stay in your head :)

This trifecta is so good, it deserves a new release. I have received positive comments on this in public and even the dog (who often seems as if he has three heads) likes this scent.
I agree with you about the Premium base.
I know that DFTR stands for Done for the Retirement in CB world, but every time I see it, I think "Don't Fear the Reaper".

Using this setup was a great way to start the day. These Seaforth! scents are far too good to go away when Dennis closes his shop.
Great razor!

Joe, at Subtle Art Soap Co., is recovering from a shoulder injury and has difficulty shaving with his dominant hand. I was asked by Sean Staplefeld to do a shave with my non-dominant hand to show Joe a little support. I was happy to do it, and I was quite surprised with how good my resulting shave was.

Awesome shave. This is a new tub. I like the scent so much that this is the only soap I have ever killed.
As you can tell from the splash, the notes of TNeV don't dissipate immediately like the citrus notes of a summer scent can. This makes the EdP an all-day event. I fully enjoyed it. And, I got compliments on it ... from our dog.

A luxurious shave to open November. I love this dark grassy scent. It's far too good for short-term use. I'll use it during all of these cold months.
Well, BBS November is underway. As I acquire more soaps, the attractiveness of using more than one per day increases. I treat BBS November as No-Shave November for wetshavers. I used to grow a beard in November and donate to a cancer prevention organization. For the past two years, I have shaved twice a day and donated to a cancer prevention organization. Same cause, just a different approach.
Hopefully, @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social , who got me into this, is playing along this month as well.
