Any Scooby Snacks in the Mystery Machine? How do you like the SHAG products? I’m real curious about all those big scents in one? Is it very green or? That Enders tho!

This one will no doubt be polarizing. Shag opens with a thick, herbaceous, and earthy fragrance. It quickly fills out with bold resinous notes with a pronounced cade smokiness. In fact, as the soap has aged, the cade has become more dominant such that this is a rather smoky fragrance. That's not to say it's one dimensional, however, but rather lending the impression of smoldering herbs and musky patchouli. Despite the connotation, there is no cannabis note. Mid-shave, bitter bergamot pushes through along with generous woody lavender, melding very well with the ever-present resin. There's also an interesting saltiness that contrasts well with the herbaceous lavender. This a very complex and artfully crafted fragrance.

Welcome to TABAC Tuesday fellow face and dome scrapers. I’m still recovering from my bout with my problematic Rex Ambassador. Matt Pisarcik is on the case though, and I have every expectation that things will resolve positively. Things on the dome remain a bit tender, but thankfully, my Gibbs Adjustable delivered the goods in its usual comfortable, easy-going fashion. Joseph’s (primotenore) Tabac lather recipe delivered a beautiful, thick, yogurty covering that elevated what could have been a cautious, tentative shave to a thorough-going shaving win. PAA’s Preshave Cube combined beautifully with that first lather application to allow my feather-loaded Gibbs to just sweep away my whiskers while enjoying that delightful Tabac scent. It literally felt like there was no blade in the razor. The next pass left me with a comfortable DFS on the dome, despite a very tender surface, and an actual BBS on the face. Fortunately, SWMBO, with her fragrance allergy, is still away until tomorrow, allowing me to use Tabac, which she detests along with my Chatillon Lux AS. I finished feeling clean, smooooth, and refreshed! I hope everyone has a great day.
