Yes, the aftershave is an alcohol-based splash. I have it and enjoy it.
I also have the EdC and don't think it would be an offensive level of Tabac unless you really doused yourself in it.

Thanks to u/OnionMiasma for organizing again for a great cause this year. Also, thanks to u/rocketk455 and everyone else involved in creating Steady. It's a great scent.

Sample kill. I enjoyed this scent, but doubt that I'd want a full tub. I just don't find myself in the mood for rose very often.
I'm bummed to hear about Spearhead closing up shop, but it motivated me to finally get off my ass and pick up some of their stuff that I've wanted for a while.
Almost to the weekend y'all, have a great day!
Yeah, Lavanille leans much darker to my nose. I’m glad to have both of them.
The Ubrique frag is something else as well. That Will guy knows what he’s doing!

My first time trying the G-Bar that u/jwoods23 threw in for free when I purchased a brush from him.
It's a nice, mild shaver. Similar to the Flying Wing, but it seemed a bit more efficient.
I had the same experience with those silicone dog bowls. Works great if I've already loaded a full brush, but very much sucks to use for samples/smushes.
Nice razor! Looks like a Gillette Old type in pretty good shape.
I have one as well, it's a great (albeit aggressive) shaver.

Pretty good shave overall. Two passes plus some clean up on my neck and chin with a DE.
This scent is a nice rose with a hint of sweetness behind it. The base performed great as well, though I do think his final formulation makes a better lather.

Three passes, a couple nicks on my chin. Overall a very close shave though there's room for improvement on my chin and jawline.
Frag buds! 🍻

Verdigris is a nice scent, and that premium base is just too damn good.
