    Mr.Burberry

    Fragrance Family: Earthy & Woody

    Scent Type: Citrus & Woods

    Key Notes: Grapefruit, Vetivier, Guaiac Wood

    Fragrance Description: This fragrance contains fresh, crafted top notes of crisp, zesty grapefruit cut with a seductive base of earthy vetiver and smokey guaiac wood. It is classic yet contemporary—sophisticated and sensual—capturing the essence of London and its moments and fusing the classic scents of a British perfumery with unexpected ingredients.

    About the Bottle: The bottle is inspired by the iconic black Burberry trench coat, its quality, craftsmanship, style, and timeless appeal honors its signature design details. Bold and masculine, the weighted cap references horn-look buttons, while a handtied knot in English-woven gabardine sits around the neck, celebrating the innovative fabric invented by Thomas Burberry more than 100 years ago.

    About the Fragrance: A man of contrasts—classic yet contemporary, sophisticated, and sensual with a sartorial elegance and a rebellious attitude—he is authentic and British, London is his home, a city of subtlety and surprise. The Mr. Burberry Eau de Toilette is refined and elegant, not pristine or perfect. It‘s an energy and irreverence that defines their style.

    davidoff adventure
    This fragrance for men by the house of Davidoff that brings the challenge of adventure was released in February of 2008, except for the USA market, where it is planned to launched in the fall the same year.

    It is promoted by the actor and the real adventurer Ewan McGregor, famous for his roles in Trainspotting, Star Wars, Moulin Rouge, Down with Love. He says that this fragrance and its advertising campaign are deeply connected with him, not only personally, but also with his great passion - motorcycling.

    The perfume is created to be woody and spicy and it was designed by perfumer Antoine Lie, Givaudan. He was inspired by untamed nature, its freshness and rich woody notes.

    This fragrance starts with sweet and fresh notes of mandarin orange, bergamot, and sparkling lemon, followed by green tea and black pepper. Seeds of black sesame and berries of South American pimento dominate the heart of the fragrance, and the base is made of Peruvian cedar, vetiver and light musk. The fragrance comes in 50 ml and 100 ml bottles, as eau de toilette and 100 ml bottle after shave, with the whole cosmetic line (deodorants, shampoo...).

    Stephen Klein was the photographer of the advertising campaign, and the famous actor was photographed in dense Brazilian jungle.

    Tech Tuesday? HA! I do that, too!
    Muhle Monday, Tech Tuesday, Wolfman Wednesday, Traveler Thursday, Fat Boy Friday, Slim Saturday, Super Speed Sunday.
    The Wolfman is pretty aggressive, so it's for special occasions, in which case it's Wockwell Wednesday (with apologies to Elmer Fudd).

    Took the "just received today" 1936 Aristocrat for a spin tonight! Loaded it with a NOS fresh Schick Super Stainless Steel Krona blade. Shave cream was Tet-A-Tet. Brush was Yaqi Aqua high mountain silvertip badger.

    My few years of experience with the first variant of this Aristocrat was outstanding and I was hoping for the same with this second variant. I wasn't disappointed. Fantastic, fine shave tonight! Pretty smooth all over. I'll be shipping this razor off Monday for a revamp and rhodium replate at Razor Emporium. Until then, I'm enjoying it as is!

    Additional razor: I used the 3D printed Raptor SE razor, designed and printed for me by Roger, to shave my head, with a fresh GEM Personna stainless steel PTFE coated blade. Same cream and brush.

    Thank you, and no, the case isn't being replated. Probably will just put it in the utility closet for storage along with several other brush and razor cases and boxes that I have stashed away. The lid material isn't in great shape and text is faded almost away and as the razor is being replated and will be in my full-time rotation, and the blade box has a new home in my Combination travel set, I have no use for the case.

    i do that with my daily drivers as well(3 piece).a few of my cased sets have been dismantled and "customized",especially if the cases were tatty or damaged.they get tossed or passed along.my new/tech hybrid was one such example.missing it's original handle and a rough/split case.it's home is the "favorites" case with my 5 handles..;)..i put "mags" on my hotrods as well..:D

    it knows what to do.boot to the mat and you've just got to steer it,rowing the gears to keep the revs under the limiter.
    smooth 2 passer with a proraso green pre mix/hot towel prep,fine tfs lather.no wipe outs on the hot lap
    floid black to seal it in.
