I’m away at a destination wedding, and instead of continuing my exploration of my DEs, I took the tried and true MM24. Such a great daily driver, it always gives me a great shave with little if any irritation.

The town we are in has a crazily well stocked independent grocery store. They had Thayer’s aftershave splash, which I had never seen before, so I decided to try it. It’s an alcohol based splash, and is not amazing nor terrible. The scent is a generic, inoffensive musky scent. I’d say it reminded me of Stirling’s aftershaves more than anything else. That’s not a criticism of Stirling or Thayer’s, they are both basic, serviceable splashes and I like that. But I see no reason to buy this again as I have Stirling.
