Refreshing shave Akhi! I'm looking forward to warmer weather and refreshing soaps like TOBS Peppermint and MdC Absinthe.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave this morning! Returned to Ariana & Evans and their excellent Brut homage, "60's Cologne" shave soap. Wonderful Old School scent with exceptional lather built with the Ever-Ready synth for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed Thayers unscented witch hazel and Brut aftershave lotion & EdT.
Hope you have a great day.

Thanks Akhi!
This shave was like the “Mother of all Grand Freezes!” Not only did the soap feel intense, the aftershave felt almost borderline painful but in a great way!

Thank you. It was my 144th brush I made and a favorite design. This is our last week here in Hendersonville, NC. We are closing on a house in Simpsonville, SC, next Monday. We will move down there sometime that week. Jayaruh #144 Begins

I also use the glass bottle brut paired with A&E. The only problem is that the A&E is more fashioned to the faberge brut scent (stronger, deeper scent); whereas the modern brut is more light fougere.20 April, 2026

Agreed. I'm always on the look-out for the old stuff. Seems to be nowhere though. A lot of Shulton Old Spice, AV and others out there but not much of the old Fabergé stuff. Sometimes I use vintage Avon "Tai Winds" splash and cologne. Closest thing I've found to the original Fabergé juice.

Thanks, it's a pretty good shave cream for me. Gillette came out with it (I think I'm remembering correctly) shortly after they introduced their Gillette Heritage 3 piece razor. I think within the last ten years, but time flies so fast now, so who knows.

Insomnia shave with PAA La Tiera Mojado. The soap smells like soap, with a hint of parking lot, and flowers. The aftershave clearly presents the "asphalt after rain" scent, with flowers. I complete the PAA stolen valor trifecta with the StarCraft beush. The razor was the Vector.

The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #144 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Hoffritz Travel Razor and the Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
