Tub kill. I've had this tub for quite some time. I think I bought it used from someone on Reddit. I always sort of thought the scent was relatively basic but enjoyable, but using it day after day recently made my nose pick up on some details that were really enjoyable. I'm not going to replace it, but I see why this one is popular with the "use the same thing every day" crowd.

Congrats! I vowed to kill two tubs this year. Failed miserably. Oh well, that's what New Year's Day resolutions are for.
