    I really like PAA's knock off of Sauvage. I think it smells a little more 'natural' than the Dior fragrance. Hard to describe, but the notes from PAA's dupe smell like slightly higher quality ingredient on some of the scent notes. Or, at least, they smell more 'real' and less artificial than Dior's original.

    Would you happen to know what size that aftershave is? Nowhere on the page for it on their website do they mention how many milliliters or ounces it contains and it is not on any of the bottles I have seen. I'm interested in trying it since I do love and wear Sauvage, but I'm not going to pay $25 for 2 ounces of a clone with a fancy label.

    Friday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    L'Occitane Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #414 Silvertip Badger
    TARMAX by Tom
    Astra SP
    CWR
    Lustray Spice After Shave

    The L'Occitane Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #414 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TARMAX Razor by Tom with an Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Colibri (Hummingbird) with 1.30 open comb plate on Voevoda stainless steel handle by Homelike Shaving.
    Astra SP (?)
    Razorock 400 synthetic.
    Mitchell’s Wool Fat soap
    Scottish Antique by Andy Hilfiger cologne.

    What a morning! It felt like I was herding cats this morning trying to get out the door. I was feeling rushed so I opted to leave the Essence alone and brought out the Colibri.

    I have missed the Colibri due to my focus on open blade shaving. The Colibri is probably my favorite DE in the den.

    It was a glorious combination this morning with the MWF. Three very nice passes and the alum was silent.

    Finished the shave with some witch hazel and the Scottish Antique cologne.

    I hope everyone has a very nice Friday!

    Hrmmm. Still a bit steep for just a little over 3 ounces for a knockoff. Breaking down the math, the cost for two 100ml bottles of the knockoff plus shipping is what i paid for my 200ml bottle of real Sauvage cologne about 5 years ago. I'll move on. But definitely thanks for the information on the size !

    Friday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 12
    Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
    Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
    Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    Besides air conditioning nothing feels better than a great shave with an intensely mentholated soap like the Glacial Electric Sheep. Its scent is exactly the same as the original version - a beautiful blend of lemon, eucalyptus, and citronella but this version has such powerful menthol fumes which can really unblock your nostrils, the mutton tallow formula promotes such awesome, slick lather, the freeze feels borderline painful, (in a good way!) and the postshave feeling is GREAT. The Glacial Unscented balm is so wonderful, and the Snake Bite aftershave stings like hell for a second or two but then it freezes like Siberia in midwinter and feels so good. Was this shave ever BBS and enjoyable!

    Have a nice weekend - be well and safe!

    I don't have this particular scent but I have many other PAA splashes and most are strongly scented. A little goes a long way. That helps a bit from the value standpoint.

    Over a month later but the B-20’s made it from Japan.

    Razor: Enders Speed Shaver
    using an original blade stacked under a Schick B-20 injector blade
    Brush: Rich Man Shaving Red Forge
    Soap: Wholly Kaw Fougere Mania
    AS: Wholly Kaw Fougere Mania Toner

    Just a super shave, the razor hack is amazingly efficient but I will be removing the edge from the old blade next time. I did a clip off attempt on another blade but it just shattered into a mess.
    The WK Fougere Mania lather was as expected, awesome.
