BarberDave's Shaveapalooza

Recieved some surprising news via facebook messenger from Italy last night late. As most of you know I had been bugging the powers that be at Saponificio Varesino for EdT's, or EdP's for well over a year. I also seem to be the "official Photographer" for their facebook covers, and had been pestering them for an EdT, or EdP, for a few yrs now. In this time I have become friends with Marco and Alessandro, the prinipals at SV. Well, Cubebe finally came out, and with my participation in thier facebook groups as well as my never ending promotion of their products I was offered, and accepted to be an Official Brand Ambassador for Saponificio Varesino. It does allow some benefits
So you are Pimping yourself out for soap? (Sort of the Pretty Woman of Soap)........At least it is great soap!!!

As we all wish we could!
You can its easy to become a brand ambassador for things just follow and promote thing you like and sooner or later the company will realize that you are an asset to them, and cheap advertising. I can see you Dave doing that for wines for sure
Very cool ... congrats!

CBL Pineapple Cilantro Banana Shave Soap
Swiss Pitralon Aftershave Splash
Creed Aventus EdP

Interesting shave today, a good one, just interesting in the overall fragrance smorgasboard. Was excited to try this flavor as all of them are in the wheelhouse. I knew these would play well together, and I believe this was a request from @Cvargo . So knowing his olfactory issues it could smell like apples, broccoli, and squash, LOL.

Forunately it smells heavenly, the pineapple is the smack in the face, the banana is the main character and the Cilantro gives it a nice spicy green note. Deciding what to match the AS and EdP would be the challenge.

The Boker and Luca Brasi did the job well and no need to mention the performance of @CBLSoap.com , @CBLindsay and the soaps as they are Elite X 10.

3 passes today for DSBBSm and believe it or not the Swiss Pitralon with it's pear, apple and other goodness combined with the PCB for a great combo. The EdP was easier as Aventus is a pineapple top note and with it's base notes brought everything together. Another great match for this soap would be Zoologist's Bat, as it is very banana heavy.

Great Stuff.

Have a Great Day Folks
