Haven't shaved a few days and this razor plowed through the growth like it didn't exist making it a verifiable beard buster. End result BBS finish achieved.

That Brut was ordered from an international vendor. It's an EDT, not a cologne and IMO, stronger than the Special Reserve Cologne that I also own. Because of that I pair it with PAA's Et Tu, which seems to be a better match up scent-wise. I also agree, that Et Tu label that used to be on the soap and splash like 3-4 years ago was the best label and I wish PAA had kept it. I even wrote PAA asking them if they could still make some for the stuff I order, but alas, the answer was 'no'. The current Et Tu label is 'ok', but that older label was just plain better. Hard to explain sometimes but you know when something is 'right' when you see it.

 

I think there were copyright issues, if memory serves. I have a huge bottle of Brut that I've had since the 90s. I found it back in a closet, and in recent years have been using it. It's from the Faberge years. It's nostalgic, but actually holds its own today.

WOW!! A very interesting 1st shave with the Yaqi Excalibur AC razor. Very comfortable with a guard blade. I’ll have to see how smooth a Schick Proline is next . Happy Healthy Shaves all.

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

The razor & blade duo paired together superbly, mowing through my stubble effortlessly....Out of all my TTO parker DE razors the 92r is the most aggressive...The consistent assertiveness of the Silver Star SS blade throughout the week has been superb.

The derby lavender cream which i haven't used for a while provided me a wonderful slick protective lather which made my early morning shave a pleasurable shaving experience.

Another enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups very close comfortable near BBS shave with no errors to report...A great shave to finish my shaving week....Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Herbs of Bulgaria ~ Lavender ASL.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
