It all about Oranges and Orange blooms today. Needed. A shave to wake me up to get the week started on a good foot, and there is nothing like oranges.
This soap, aftershave combo is like walking through an orange grove on a nice sunny day. The Vector, as always, provides a great shave and the Orange Blossom cologne topped everything off a good way to start the week
Hope everyone has a good day

PCN Verde aftershave balm
Talc
AdG EdT
This some of my favorite shave combos, Summer, Fall, or Winter. Fresh, green and purely Italianano.
Sad that it is now unobtanium as it was one of the best. The only knock to me was the balm. Although very good, the scent is a bit lacking on the balm
The AdG is perfect for this combo and the Tradere was a perfect slicer for the job
Looking forward to the new Blackland Osprey Adjustable on Friday as well. The CEC of oneself is ongoing LOl
Hope everyone has a good day

Clubman Talc
YSL rive gauche pour homme EdT
Great shave for this morning. Hey Dave it’s my Thursday!
Nice Barbershop style shave today. My biggest complain to most barbershop scents is the over abundance of talc notes. Here’s is a tip guys… barbershops don’t smell that way LOL. There are a few however that capture them. Fine, Mikes, and a few more. This one is not too bad but still too much talc. A great soap and the Blackbird continues to give a stellar shave
As far as aftershaves more companies get it right and WSP is one. Of course Hombres in both Variants are the best.
As to a frag IMHO there is simply no other Fragrance that captures a true Barbershop scent than the original rive gauche in the shave style can. Originally designed to be an homage to Barbasol it nails, the true barber shop sent.
Simply stated, think denied clubman, clubman, talc, Barbacide , shape up brush cleaner, Proraso, hairspray,hair gel, lysol, rubbing alcohol, lavender, and steamed towels, mix all those fragrances together and that’s what a true barbershop smells like
Nice way to start the day
Hope your day is good as well

Nice shave for my Friday. Lemon, lavender and tje Tedalus. Does not get better. Been a long l, busy week, so looking forward to some recovery time Especially now as the evenings are getting in the low to mid 70’s and in the 60’s around 10pm, so a nice beverage, and a fire on the patio with a nice cigar is most definitely on the agenda, including May breakfast out there as well on Sunday morning. A zoom call later on Sunday and realizing these upcoming months are why we live here
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend of college football!

If you like the lemon & lavender combo, you'd like Shannon's Soaps' Lavender Lemongrass soap.

Thayers Lemon
Cella Bio aftershave splash

Well Happy Wednesday, or Monday if you follow the BarberDavian Calendar

A nice start my Tuesday with a very Bougie Provincial shave in honor of @NurseDave ’s annual trip around the sun, ok ok actually I was lazy and this was the easiest to grab. Since I will NEVER get to the end of this product, it will be ancient, like NDave before I get through it
Have a great day folks

It’s my Friday…. Finally. Very long week so needed a shave to brighten everything up and this one is perfect. IMHO CBL’s greatest soap creation in all categories. Now with a Beta of the WH and it is Fantastic. With a tremendous amount of fragrance that could be used as a stand alone aftershave.
The rest of the shave was equally as good with the Fili.
Have a great Saturday folks

Hombres Dos Spaghetti West aftershave
Yardley Gold talc
Late Entry, Early morning shave. As mentioned earlier @CBLSoap.com knocked this one out of the park. All the goodness of the original with a bright refreshing opening. Super lather as well. The Cactus is a razor that I should use more often as it is super smooth
The icing on this cake is the brush. Love how the cholla really stands out
Today is FINALLY a lazy day around the house. A few loads of laundry ( mostly barbershop towels ) a few cigars planned, and finally got to enjoy the patio and fire table this evening. All in all a great day
Hope you have a great Sunday! What is left of it anyway

Wostenholm 8/8
Morris & Forndran
Floris
A "Bond" Shave of Fleming if you would prefer. Floris is everything Penhaligon's used to be and this is a perfect combo for the advent of fall. Still bright enough for slightly cooler temp, but hinting at bolder winter type frags with a hint of nutmeg.
The Wosty (The Beasty) is a heavy near wedge that does not require any work, other than letting it fall down the face. The Brush, although a fave, is still giving me fits, and it holds on to everything.... Water, Soap, etc. IT forgets to give it up so to speak. It is the only brush I have that a "Love-Hate" relationship continues. Frankly it is the one brush that makes me reach for synthetics, LOL
"No @NurseDave you cannot have it"
Anyway it was a nice Monday Shave and Day 11 of the Imaginarium. For Tuesday we head to Wonka's Chocolate Factory for day 12 of the Imaginarium Shaves
