    • Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Karve CB SB D
    • Blade: Gillette Winner [1]
    • Lather: Noble Otter - Neon Sun - Soap
    • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Neon Sun - Aftershave

    Good shave. New blade was a bit harsh for my rushed shave. Good strong musky scent makes my rotation interesting.

    Grapefruit!

    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Papa Eld with Declaration Grooming B3 knot
    • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 2 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
    • Lather: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver
    • Aftershave: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver
    • Fragrance: Terre d’Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver
    • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

    Not the dominant note at all, I long didn’t notice the grapefruit in Desert Vetiver/Eau Intense Vétiver until last week when I sniffed it next to CB Purple Grapefruit. Now it’s just obvious. Funny how noses work.

      Great setup! This is my plan for Vétiver Vendredi. I did not notice the grapefruit note until you pointed it out.

    I almost forgot to post this shave today. Great shave. Spiced is such a wonderful scent. It is beautifully balanced between fresh orange citrus and warm spices. I really enjoyed this today.
