Does it have a smell similar to Drakkar "Noir"?

 

Well looking through all the post the pictues are fantastic and the equipment seem equal to the tasks.
Great stuff..
It gives me ideals and shows off different
paraphernalia I might be interested in that I didn't know existed.
Thanks to all that take the time for this sorta thing.
I went from a very mild razor blade combo to using an agressive razor with feather blades and even using a slant to deburr the old noggin in less than 6 months. Getting better and better shaves as I go.
Well,
Upward and onward.....

Custom Lady Eversharp Razor
Vintage Schick Blade
Frank Shaving Badger Brush
Palmoive Shave Stick
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Clubman After Shave

Needed to do some trimming around the goatee, so I used my trusty Custom Lady Eversharp. Two passes with a little touch up for a very smooth BBS shave.

 

Don't know as I've never tried Drakkar Noir, but I can describe it as fresh and clean - very pleasant. It's very strong on the tea, with a distant hint of vanilla.

Love that brush.

 

That is a magnificent razor!

 

That would be cool. I am going to soon look into obtaining a vintage bottle for comparison to the EDT I got shipped from Israel, which I found WAS the best version available for purchase. It's no longer available from that source now. So, I have the one bottle I got and will have to look to vintage for anything stronger than what's at the supermarket.

Thank you. It was actually the first one I made and kept.

 

Did a very basic shave

Brush: Semouge OC SE 2013
Razor: Merkur 38c
Blade: Astra SP
Soap: Arko stick
Post: menthol crystal spiked witch hazel.
Aftershave: Turkish Pereja lemon
Post: Gillette aftershave lotion

Haven't shaved with Arko stick in a while. I keep it in my dopp bag. So it's out of site when I open the den. Got a crazy good lather this morning with it and a really close shave. But for some reason when I'm done shaving with Arko my face feels tight and like I have a slight razor burn. This seems to last for about 3hr or so then it goes away.

Could smell the whiffs of Pereja as I was working out in the yard before it got to warm. What I like about Pereja that its not too sweet or tart smelling lemon. For the size of bottle and the price. It's a real bargain.
