Lather: #SouthernWitchcrafts Desairology
Post-shave: #SouthernWitchcrafts Desairology

I forgot to post this shave yesterday, but basically it's just my favourite set.

I got, at most, 4 hours of sleep. Then my grandmother announced she'd be coming by ... in half an hour. You know how it is.

Jun. 3rd, 2023
Prep: #CeraVe Foaming Cleanser
Brush: #Yaqi Timberwolf (26mm)
Razor: #RazoRock lupo .95 SB
Blade: Gillette Platinum (?)
Lather: #ZingariMan - The Gent
Post-shave: #SouthernWitchcrafts - Desairology - alcohol-free splash

Hey, this scent's really good! A pleasant surprise after DG Chaotic Neutral and Convergence (which I forgot to post about); both of those were full of scent notes I should've enjoyed, but ended up being just OK. The Gent I was less sure of, and if the scent were just slightly different or simpler I'd throw it in the OK camp as well, but something about its complexity won me over.

What does it smell like? Powdery, definitely. Fresh, gently grassy. Like paper or new books, oddly enough; I've gotten that impression from eucalyptus before. And on the drydown, a gentle touch of warm woods; not unlike The Explorer, but not the focus here, but something subtler, more sophisticated. I don't have the nose to appreciate Shawn Maher's creations fully, but I love what I can detect.

Top notes: Eucalyptus, grapefruit peels, lime, neroli
Mid: Musk, woods, hay, jasmine, citrus, coumarin, herbs
Base; musk, woods, amber, rose
