Hello everyone, today im giving a 1st impressions of Noble Otter. This is my 1st product from them, and I purchased a product from someone on the zaar, which I then traded for this set.

**Items Used**
* Noble Otter Flying Hide
* Noble Otter Flying Hide
* Landmark Essentials 26mm Teal Bronsh
* Gillette Black Beauty
**Scent**
Scent notes are: Leather, Smoky Cedar, Tobacco, Bay and Bergamot. Off the puck I get the leather, and some of that bergamot and tobacco, although very light. Off the puck, its at mid strength. Its a very pleasant smell, but the leather is the dominating note, so if you dont like leather, you wont like this very much. The aftershave smells almost identical, with the main difference being the aftershave strength is a lot stronger. It goes from mid to high. My wife said she could smell it from the top of the stairs to the master bathroom, about 25-30 feet away, which is a first.
**Performance**
I build lather by loading with a relatively dry brush, getting a nice paste going, adding water as I go, face lathering. I was able to get a nice lather going pretty quickly. I prefer a slicker yogurty texture vs the lather porn big poofy lather, so I was happy to see that I was able to get this with relative ease. Protection was excellent, at no point in time did I feel like I was going to cut myself through the dense lather, and I felt easy to slide the razor back and forth without worries. It helped glide the blade through my hairs, and I'd say the slickness was on par with other artisans like, Dr. Jons and Wholly Kaw (not donkey milk never tried that :p)
**Post Shave Feel**
The soap and aftershave left my face feeling soft and hydrated. It doesn't compare to how my soap with duck fat left me, but it also didn't dry me out or leave my face feeling tight. Overall I'm pretty happy with how it left me feeling. Also, again, this aftershave is STRONG scented, I unfortunately can't review how long the scent lasted because I fell asleep, but it lasted at least an hour and a half.
**Final Thoughts**
I really enjoy this set. While the soap scent isn't super strong, the aftershave is very strong. While this may be a con for some who like to wear edts, this is a pro for me. The three strongest scents I have in my den are Rhino, Night Music, and a soap by Southern Witchcrafts, the set ranks up there with them. The performance is a bit above average, and id rate it at a 7.67/10. I look forward to trying their Barbarr and to see what else they put out in the future.
