If you have to do something...

Still getting whiffs as I work these 8 hours later. Much fewer to be sure, but it’s there. On my wrists I can get the scent about an 1/2 to 1 inch off the skin. It’s still green but not as crisp, it’s softer now, a light powder finish underneath.

8hrs ain’t bad. Especially if it’s not a strong scent to start.

For the price, it’s a steal to be sure. There’s at least 3 hours of that solid, crisp vetiver scent to enjoy... I’m just deciding if this soft finish is something I can live with. Right in the middle of the wrist I still get the crispness, but toward the edge of the wrist, where the edge of the spray would have been, it’s fairly soft powder. I can see where Cole might have gotten “old man” scent.
 
BTW, I’ll be taking suggestions for my next decant. Doesn’t necessarily have to be vetiver oriented. The supplier I used this time has quite a few options and I like this travel atomizer idea!

Just tell me your favs and why, and I’ll do the research!
 
Shave #313 (363 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Feather AC SS folding, Feather Pro blade, RR GC .68, Astra SP blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, CBL SIR Fougere tonsorial soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Pitralon Classic AS, and Le Labo Bergamote 22 frag to finish!

Got home about midnight last night, didn’t fall asleep till about 1:30. Expecting worse tonight.

Final longevity report for first use of Guerlain Vetiver - I could still get occasional whiffs and pick up the scent from the wrists before falling asleep last night. The powder had mostly worn off and it was just light green scent. It was totally gone by this morning.

Was up around 9:30 this morning, didn’t roll out of bed till about 10 though. Shower n shave, continuing the green theme of yesterday with some different notes, then a nice home breakfast with the family, something that doesn’t get to happen often enough unfortunately. Then it was chore time...and reality set back in as the whining started. :ROFLMAO:

Really looking forward to getting this day over with!

Have a great Saturday all!
 
Wait. Do you use a DE after the Feather AC? The Feather makes tomorrow's shave optional when I use it.

Most often, yes. I do my first two passes with the Feather, then the final with the DE. It’s more for convenience than anything else; I can do the last pass with the Feather, it just takes longer, though a final ATG pass with open blades does get me better BBS than anything else.
 
Shave #314 (363 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Gillette Fat Boy, Astra SP blade, Sorrentino TSC 1st Anniversary badger brush, CBL Barbershop soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Fine AB AS, and Fine AB EdT to finish!

Well...I survived! Didn’t get to sleep until around 2 though.

Up at 7 this morning for shower and shave. Fine AB has me smelling like a million bucks. Looking forward to that first cup of joe, whenever it might be.

Today off through Tuesday. A few major chores to take care of, otherwise a whole lot of nothin! Mystery box inbound for my enjoyment this week. Pretty sure I’m going to rip that sucker open and experience everything in less than an hour; I’m stoked to see what it holds!

Have a blessed Sunday all!
