    Thursday morning:

    L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Minora day 5
    RVT Frosty Bay Rum SS
    Prep ASB
    Pinaud Bay Rum AS Splash

    Mo has some of the nicest soaps I’ve ever had used in my life - this Frosty Bay Rum smells so gorgeous, I love the lather as well as the blade glide that the slickness gives me, and although the menthol sensation is not the strongest it’s still pleasant and refreshing. The Prep beefed up the cooling and its scent seems to pair so well with any bay rum soap. The Pinaud Bay Rum aftershave is one of my top favourites - do I ever love it. The Minora blade helped to give me a brilliant three pass BBS shave!

    Be well and safe!

    A Nor’easter hit us yesterday here in the Northeast Tri-State area. Dropped about 16” in the area and today was time for digging out and clean up. After that a close and excellent shave with the Dragonsbeard & H&S Ti. And a couple pints of Guinness Stout to quench me parched throat. Well deserved I might add. ;) A wonderful evening and shaves to all....

    Gus, I notice V2 Splash looks much lighter in color to V1. How is the scent comparison ?

    I couldn’t tell you brother. I never got to get my nose on the first release. From what I get V2 is a bit more darker & richer with a tinge less sweetness as V1 was a bit lighter and more fougere like and less aromatic/oriental than V2. With V2, I get a nice creamy cacao & coffee like type vibe with a real subtle floral plus green accord to it. Since I know you have Issey Miyake Noir Argent, take that and just turn down the sweetness ever so slightly and add the cacao/coffee with floral green notes. Really is a wonderful blend from Frank....
