    Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave

    The Mitchel's Wool Fat lathered well with the Semogue Owners Club Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Fredrick Reynolds 5/8 straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    H. Diamond 90 another effortless bbs shave with this one. I love this razor! Crowne & crane tobacco leaf & amber for the suds and aftershave! This scent is nothing short of decadent! Compress_20240107_174359_9354.jpg

  17. @Axeman556 As we all very well know scents are highly subjective. I happen to like Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars very much. To my nose the scent is the best representation of the title I’ve encountered to date. I think the scent is the same as sitting in a cigar bar. My other half doesn’t like it as she feels it smells like an ashtray. That very well may be, however in this case I don’t mind. Mind you I’m not a smoker but if you are looking for a tobacco scent ( specifically cigar & cognac) I don’t think you can find a better one. I definitely get more cigar than cognac though.
    I use a puck of the triple milled soap. It works and is easy to lather. I use with either a straight or occasionally a DE when pressed for time. As for staying power, when I use the splash, balm and perfume or EDT or whatever it’s called , it easily stays with me all day.
    I hope this helps you.
  18. Thanks for the info. :eatdrink047:
