Shit shave. I had refreshed my TI after this recipe, but I must have screwed up somewhere – probably didn't use enough pressure with the first stone. The brush hardly held enough lather for a cheek – I'm not sure I'll use it again. But I'm still impressed by the HAGS soap.

Aftershave: Chicago Grooming Co. / House of Mammoth Armonía
I've been sleeping on Armonía. When I read about the tobacco topped fougère idea, I couldn't picture it. Fougère and tobacco were at odds in my mind, and I didn't jump on the first release. When the glowingreviewsstartedrolling in, I started to figure out that I had missed out on something big. But still I didn't do anything about it for almost two years, until the AG 1889 sub exclusive when adding Armonía to the order was just one simple click. I'm so happy I did!
Tobacco, green, fresh, and... tart? It's wonderful and I know I'll enjoy getting to know this one better over the coming weeks.
The picture shows a frag but after the shave, I decided I wanted to enjoy the unadulterated scent of Armonía a bit longer and skipped it.
