This is a scent designed by u/hawns to be a fresh scent of the '60s updated for the millennial/GenX generations. As someone who was around in the '60s, I’d say that this scent has less of that one-note feel (and strength) of the post WWII scents that I’m familiar with, and has more complexity, balance, and a more appropriate strength for the 21st century. I still get wafts of the EdT as I type this, but the scent does not have to compete with a smoke-filled room (typical of the '60s where everyone smoked). Well done! I hope you whippersnappers enjoy it!
Today I used a Puma 89 for the shave. This is a new razor to the collection that I purchased off eBay for a very good price. Suspicious that you “get what you pay for”, I honed the razor expecting that there would be some problems to overcome. There were. Here is the video for the honing. The shave with the resulting Ozuku Jnat edge was wonderful.
