It's a lovely scent! I enjoyed my sample so much I ordered the trifecta :)

First time trying Black Ice, I really enjoyed it. I love the smell of anice, and the kick of menthol was perfect for a warm day.

Ramblin' Man afterward to please the missus. Have a great one y'all! ✌️

That’s such a cheeky response to a cease and desist over the previous name. I love it

I totally mistyped there -- I meant to say that this balm and artisan are new to me. Meaning Ginger's Garden. I'm not sure whether CF was part of the prize list.

I agree though, Chiseled Face is one of my favorites. I get a great lather with their base every time.

Just a beautiful shave this morning. Summer Storm always brings me back to being in the desert during a thunderstorm. Makes me miss living in New Mexico.

This balm and artisan is new to me and was one of the prizes I won in the children's cancer raffle. Nice menthol level, good ingredients, and left my skin feeling great!

Have a great one y'all, we made it to the weekend! ✌️

Another first shave with a new sample, Cologne Russe was a lovely experience. Subtle, slightly powdery, with what smelled to me like a light cedar or oak note. I'm still developing a nose for these sorts of scents, so I could be way off base here!

Lather performed excellently as always. I'm growing to love the lower-structured lather that B&M provides. It still gives excellent slickness and a comfortable shave.

Have a great one y'all! ✌️

lol damn, that post is next level

I often wish they could just use their damn words, but perhaps this is good preparation for any possible children someday. :)

I'm glad I picked up a sample and curious to see how the scent changes in the EdT.

It's a very warm-yet-subdued scent. I get a bit of tobacco and musk, maybe a hint of vanilla. Overall it feels well-balanced. Definitely more restrained than Haverford, if you're familiar with that scent.

My first shave with this sample of Stirling Gentleman was very enjoyable. My wife liked the scent so much that she insisted I order the EdT for future use. 😊

Overall a close and comfortable shave. For whatever reason, one of our cats yelled at me for the entire shave. Of course, as soon as I finished she settled down and slept. 🙄

Have a great one y'all! ✌️

Oh snap, an emacs plugin for your SOTD is next-level.

I wonder how much effort it would be to port to nvim... 🤔
