A special thank you to Robert Camara for the soap/splash set !!!

Let's open the books on this shave:

Preshave - Hot Shower
Brush - Hendrix Classics & Co. The Black and Tan
Bowl - RazoRock Ceramic
Razors - Shijiazhuang Yaqi Brush Product Co.,ltd. Ultimate/ HeadBlade Greeneblade
Soap/splash - First Line Shave James
Cologne - Barrett Fragrances Peachy Paradise

From FLS Website : This is a very special release for me, dedicated to my son James. The scent opens up with a giant ripe juicy peach top note, with blended middle notes of saffron, black pepper and sea salt that makes you feel as if you’re floating across the ocean. The dry down is a magical array of tobacco, cedarwood and vanilla that even a cigar smoking centipede would love.

My thoughts:This is a great peach forward scent. I could imagine the days with my grandfather, sitting on the porch, eating ripe peaches with the juice running down my arm.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Taylor of Old Bond Street and their excellent "Grapefruit" shave cream. Sharp, tart citrus scent with incredible lather built with the Paladin "Year of the Dragon" 2-Band Select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Super-109, and I finished with Hendrix Classics & Co. "Citrus Bomb" after shave splash and Creed "Himalaya" EdP.

Hope you've had a great day.

TOBS "Grapefruit" Shave Cream / Paladin "Year of the Dragon" Badger Brush / '69 Gillette Super-109
