SoS: November 2018

The schick B20 gets good press. You have to cross load them into a magazine with a key though. I do not bother. Those personna blades do great for me.

 

Yep, I'm out. That's way too much for me. I'd like to try one, but not for 124 bucks!
They are cool, just wish I could find one that wasn't an Arma and a leg.

 

To get the week starting, here it is for Monday-the "Unofficial Veterans Day":

prep-Dial 4 Men Bodywash(Ultimate Clean)in shower
shave-Regiment Soaps(Reveille)
brush-Maggard Razors 24 mm Marble Handle
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Clubman Special Reserve

 

I'm interested in knowing what you get from the Reveille scent. I get rose, cedar, a touch of vanilla.

 

Thanks!!
Great! Read that they are sharp so...
I have a pkg ordered, should be here in a few days.
I have a nasty kinda wisker that thumbs its nose at blades with a "dare ya" attitude. Crazy thing I wasn't aware of it till I got a DE razor and tried different blades, after I learned how to wield the tool. Now I'm "spoilt" and won't put up with it like I did with the disposables.
Again
Thanks

Didn't you mention that in a previous post?(I recall the rose&cedar part). I'm not too familiar with rose scents(haven't smelled a rose in a while), but I'll let you know. And just now, I went to the website for a scent refresher: Bay leaf, fir needle, cedarwood, bergamot, warm tobacco. I do pick up the warm tobacco and fir needle, perhaps some cedar as well. Overall, a pleasant cold-weather fragrance, and a nice facial feel when done.

 

Yes, j was just giving what I thought it smelled like. Just want your opinion.

 

I see we were posting each other at the same time . I would add that I like how the company has many well-known men's fragrance variety clones(e.g., Drakkar Noir, Old Spice, Barbershop, to name a few). Their Frosty sounds pretty good for the summer, too.

 

I did notice that as well. I am contemplating getting the Noir scent, but after no buy November.

 

They are great razors. I got lucky and found one in the local antique shop.

 

That was the other thing, I found it for less than $30 if I remember. I did have it replated in rhodium as it was brassing badly.

​

It would appear The Club brand has hit its stride as evidenced by settling down to an in-house tallow and goat milk base that's easily competitive on the highest level along with a diverse offering of unapologetically bold fragrances. Previously, El Gaucho had been my favorite fragrance from The Club, but aptly named Signature has taken the mantle. This is likely to be the flagship, signature fragrance of the The Club. With a relatively common and simple profile including bourbon, tobacco, and sandalwood, Signature is anything but mundane. The bourbon is front-row and accurate, while the tobacco is equally present. The blend offers up a liquor-sweet but natural, non-sugary accord that's mitigated by a weighty and creamy sandalwood. This is all highlighted by a faint suggestion of smoke. The splash allows the tobacco to shine a bit more than that of the soap, but both notes remain solid for a good two to three hours before relenting to the sandalwood dry down. A hint of nondescript spice trails off around the five hour mark. Despite all its bravado, Signature manages to stay in check sort of like a slightly matured (or medicated) Andrew Dice Clay. You can probably get away with wearing this in formal or reserved settings, but to be safe, you might consider wearing a simple sandalwood fragrance to push this into the elegant realm. Signature does a fine job wrapping up the model of The Club, representing a brazen yet gentlemanly presence and having a good time doing it.

 

Nice report.
