So, I have dialed in this Maggard Slant pretty well I think.  Took a shave or two, but got a really close shave with absolutely no irritation and tremendous efficiency.

Wanted to jump into trying Carnivale for this shave.  A very interesting combination of notes for this scent.  Opens much fruitier than I would expect, with a distinct Beedi/Bidi note that surfaces mid-drydown.  A Bidi is one of those small cigarettes that are Indian and wrapped in leaves.  They have a very distinct aroma, and I got that a lot as the dried-fruit notes faded.  As the scent continued to develop, it turned into a sweetish woody accord.  A very, very interesting scent.  

Mrs Spankmeister was a bit 'meh' on it, so I think the EdP is a no-go for me, and I am going to have to shave again with it to revisit this fragrance journey that APR took me on.  I do like it as it is very different than anything else in my den.
