Greetings,

Early morning Shave,

A wonderful performance from my much loved Gillette Slim Twist...Paired together with the Gillette Nacet made a superb razor & blade duo...the Gillette Slim Twist will always be a firm favourite of mine...let's see if the latest modern Gillette offering will last and perform with brilliance for the next 50 years plus...

A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Alcolado Glacial Mentholated Splash Lotion.

My face is feeling cool & super smooth.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Can you post a tutorial on how to convert the blades using some pictures and instructions?

 

Strange,

Back in October of last year I emailed West Coast Shaving asking who created the scent and WCS in an email response credited Oriental, the scent, in both soap formats, to Vida. WCS informed me incorrectly? I try to be careful who I credit with a scent. I know Cullen made the jojoba cream soap base, but WCS credited Vida with the scent. I can't say I'm sure who created it as I can only go off of what I was told by WCS.

Hi,

I am a wet shaving fan and I'm also a fragrance enthusiast. I like to know about fragrances I enjoy. Could you tell me the name of the person who perfumed your WCS scent called "Oriental"?

Hey Timothy,

Thanks for reaching out to us. I went ahead and checked on this for you, our WCS Eau de Parfum Oriental is made by Vida from Oleo Soapworks. I went ahead and linked her website here, she is currently making a few changes to her website so when you click on shave the URL will change to Chicago Grooming. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to us. Have a great day!



How would you rate my reply?
Great Okay Not Good

I'll bet you wield that brush with both hands, Sergio.

 

I believe you were misinformed. Chris Cullen did those fragrances.

 

Curious enough, it is the most ergonomic handle I own!
