Malin & Goetz? I had a Vetiver perfume by then that I wasn't crazy about but still cool to see them used by a fellow degenerate.

[–] walden@wetshav.ing 4 points 4 days ago

Yup, a 1oz travel size that I got from a hotel at some point. This stuff is like $50 for a 7oz tube, so I won't be replacing it when it's gone 😩

Sample kill (again). I did a bit of inventory for March Madness. I didn't realize I had multiple samples of GTB soap and aftershave. :)

Have a good one.
