Fabergé - Brut EdC (Original)
Fun shave this morning! PAA's clone of Brut, Et Tu was up. Supreme slick lather, nice and fragrant. Shave soap was entirely bowl lathered, squeezed out of the brush, then hand applied (still not a fan of this knot, probably my last use before a transplant). Nice 3 pass shave, DFS+ as the lower neck is finally coming round for a little more blade pressure and buffing. Finished with a light application of PAA's Mysterium Serum, and a small dose of Fabergé's Brut. This is original Fabergé formula, not the newer Idelle Labs formula. Got it off the 'Bay from an estate sale (supposedly). It included the really nice 2 piece hard plastic display case, and is a 3.0 ounce bottle with the metal emblem and chain. It came with 1.5 ounces left. You can tell there's a difference between PAA's Et Tu and the original...... first, appearance is different, PAA's AS/Cologne version is clear, the Fabergé is light amber. Scent wise, the PAA smells slightly cleaner, but they are really close. Dry down...still very close. Comparing to Idelle Labs Brut reformulation (both PAA Et Tu AS/C and Fabergé Brut EdC)....the Idelle Labs version is slightly more sweet/fruity to me. All three are nice, but I'm preferring the PAA and Fabergé versions.
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
