Thank you Gary.

 

I forgot all about this one. I need to revisit the scent and figure out if I want to buy a shaving set.

 

What is that soap bowl? Is that bowl what came with the Felce Aromatica soap?

 

thank you Tim.very similar to burberry brit with a more peppery mid range..

Come to terms with learning that the Seville gives me irritation so I have introduced the preshave.
Turned out to be a very good decision.
No irritation, even smoother shave.
Win, win!

Can't help but keep coming back to this amazing scent and set up. WOW off the charts for me scent wise !!! Tried the N1 injector with a twin blade in it for my first time. Effortless and smooth shave with zero irritation. Got the glass feeling I shoot for every shave and feel great despite being up at 3 am for an early work day. Now for some COFFEE !!!!!!! Have a great day Everyone !!
