"I designed the scent completely around natural ingredients and sourced my scent ingredients based on their best growing locations on the earth. The cream soap and aftershave formulations were redesigned to have as minimal impact on the scent as possible while still delivering the high level of performance we expect from all our products. I found beautiful, heavyweight, violet glass jars for the cream soap and simple, elegant frosted glass bottles for the splash and perfume. This process has been going on for almost a year." - Christopher Cullen

Top Notes - Rectified French Verbena, Florida White Grapefruit

Heart Notes - French Lavender, Bulgarian Stara Planina Lavender, Oregon Buena Vista Lavender, French Lavender Mailette, French Lavender Absolute, Egyptian Geranium

Base Notes - Brazilian Rosewood, Haitian Vetiver, Dark Aged Indonesian Patchouli

It's completely sold out now. Not sure when he will produce more. He also said to me that there are no chemical aromatics in this. Smells really clean and natural all the way around. I was complimented the first time I wore it. The stuff is really good. He's made other scents too which I haven't tried yet.

Gillette New SC
Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (3)
Lime EO enhanced La Toja
Simpson's CH2 Synthetic
Homemade Lime AS

Last night I took The Soap Destroyer to the La Toja once again. Got a nice heavy load and this time and added a few drops of lime EO to my scuttle and whipped up a very nice limey lather. The New SC and the 7O'C SS performed flawlessly as always. I finished with a spritz of my homemade lime AS and was relaxed and ready for bed. Have a great day everyone!

It's the best run ever for me on a DE. I am going with it until it won't shave anymore.

 

Great picture, Roby! I like the filter!

Thank you, my friend. Have a great day!

Great shot of the FB, Joseph! Is that the original finish or has it been replated?

The One Blade Core finally made it to me last night so today was the big day. Results? Not in yet especially after just one shave. It is different and requires a different approach. The angle is definitely different and I kept going back to my injector angle and that won't work as well. But it is a gentle razor to use and I think wonderful results are possible. BTW, today was DFS so I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Thank you Andrew. That is the original finish.

 

What a great shave today...just thought I would share. Have a great day gents.

 

I have 4 of the mickey lee aftershave milks and absolutely love them!!!

 

•Krect Spiral Curve
•Pal Hollow Ground vintage carbon
•CF Pine Tar w/fragments of Aramis and Williams soaps

3 pass BBS. If you ever get a Krect, the cap does not perfectly trace the angle of the bottom plate the whole length, the way I believe slants do. This one flares upward slightly at either end of the blade, leaving a slightly bigger gap at the ends. I failed to recognize this at first and that's why my first few shaves with this unit went poorly. So because of that feature (should say "flaw" but IIWII), a very high angle compensates and makes for an excellent shave...else it'll nip you slightly.

The mix of soaps made for a bizarre but exotic and not unpleasant fragrance.

•Witch hazel, British Sterling

 

Gorgeous razor.
