Preshave - Hot Shower
Preshave-oil/Brush/Bowl/Trifecta - Van Yulay PSO/Hercules/Honeycomb/Amber Royale
Razors - Face Jatai International - Feather SS Kamisori style Head Leaf Shave Leaf
From VanYulay's website: Amber Floral fragrance for women and men. Roja Dove Haute was launched in 2019. The nose behind this fragrance is Roja Dove. Top notes are Aldehydes, Orange, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin Orange and Lemon; middle notes are Violet, Peach, Labdanum, Lily-of-the-Valley, Heliotrope, Jasmine, Champaca and Geranium; base notes are Cashmirwood, Iris, Moss, Patchouli, Vanilla, Labdanum, Amyris, Sandalwood, Civet, Benzoin, Olibanum, Coriander, Tonka Bean, Ambrarome, Ginger, Musk, Pepper, Vetiver and Peru Balsam.
My thoughts: as I have no point of reference on the scent I go with what I get. The fruitier tone mellow the floral into a fragrance that is quite pleasant on a spring day like today. The vanilla, sandalwood and tonka bean gives this a smooth finish.

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. Nice sharp & tart grapefruit scent with excellent lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "REM Cycle" Sweet Spot ST Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the SS Karve Christopher Bradley razor, and I finished with Master Splash Creations "Grapefruit Zest after shave tonic.
Hope you have a great day.
