The PAA Gold Label products are a very, very ,very close version of Royal Mayfair. I think what PAA made is a really excellent, high-end treat. I recommend the scent. Roses, Eucalyptus, Gin, Lime and Cedar. The scent might actually be too fancy for its own good as a shaving set. I wish PAA had made a color theme with reddish-pink, blue and gold juice with maybe a rose on the label. The Doppelganger symbol just doesn't make me think of what this smells like. Aside from the odd graphics, the scent is what matters and the scent is incredible. A 10/10 representation of a 10/10 scent. So, I will live with the theme that PAA chose.

 

Thank you.

Good shave, but the oneblade is still a tricky razor to deal with. In the some razor burn i think but they feel like tiny micro papercuts. I had to use the R41 to clean up the the rest.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #144
Razorock Black Hawk
Feather Professional
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Razorock Black Hawk razor with a Feather Professional AC Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
