Mailcall (sub.wetshaving.social)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 
 

A nice little mailcall arrived.

I had tried Tobacconist a while back in soap form and loved it, and I've finally pulled the trigger on the frag. Such a nice rich tobacco scent!

I've first tried Macduff's base thanks to @[email protected]'s BVWSC submission a few month back and I was really impressed with the soap base. The scent is a blind buy, but the scent notes tobacco, lemon zest, spiced plum, roasted coffee, vetiver, cedar were intriguing me and I really like the scent off the tub. I'm looking forward to exploring it after AS2EB.

Finally, the comically large tin of LPL is my first tub from this artisan after having tried it also thanks to BVWSC, this time from @[email protected].
