Ya know when you use something the first one or two times and you write a rave review bc you think you've found something great, but then the next few times you use it, it's not that great? Yeah, I've been there... and lost count of how many times.

This isn't one of those. Fourth or fifth use with SW here, and still highly impressed. And I have fully enjoyed both scents I've dabbled in so far.

The western USA is in a prolonged drought.  Idaho is a high desert with annual precipitation of 10 inches along the Snake River plain.  At my home in The upper valley some of that precipitation comes in the form of an average of 36inches of snow.  The snow is cold and light thus those inches of snow might account for five inches of precipitated water.  She’s dry!  As you are aware, Idaho grows a lot of potatoes which are a water loving plant and most of that water comes from surface water captured by reservoirs and dependent for snowpack to provide the spring run-off that floods the creeks and rivers.  Until April our snowpack was scary low but the clouds opened and April treated us very good indeed!  Perhaps the drought has ended?  I pray so.  This morning I have a fresh inch of snow after a rain storm most of the night.  This morning is dark and damp and a perfect time for a deeper soap.  Declaration Groomings Santal Auster did the trick.  The Lupo .93(?) was a bit hot today as I hustled through my shave.  Got to remember to slow down when driving that one.
