Dirty Luxury

  • Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries - GEM Division: MM24
  • Blade: Personna #GEM PTFE
  • Lather: Chiseled Face — Midnight Stag
  • Aftershave: Southern Witchcrafts — Valley of Ashes

The match isn't over, but skimming the SOTD thread today, it sure looks like SW is taking a solid lead. I couldn't help but adding a Second Luxury Shave® with what I thought would be the main contestants today, The Stag and VoA.

With Valley of Ashes, the description that puts it best IMO is from u/jimtasticness:

The dirtiest clean scent I’ve ever smelled. Just amazing.

The Stag definitely strikes a different balance. u/WiReY_GuY put it like this:

FWIW, SW’s Valley of Ashes is in the same neighborhood as the Stag, but a little more approachable. It is more “there is a machine shop on the corner of my block” and less “the sweat running down a mechanic’s ass crack”...

It's difficult not to like these two scents!
