Comment(s) | Started with a very heavy beard. A thorough Old Spice prep face wash got the day started, followed by Cattie’s Bubbles my KCG razor with a fresh blade obliterated the scruffy beard. I lowered my rating(s) because I left some stubble around the gusher nick from a few days ago. I will be using Shark Yellow Super Stainless exclusively throughout July. |
Now that’s a darn good lather worked up in that scuttle!

Thanks!I'll paste the official scent profile below for you. I'm about the worst at diagnosing a fragrance. I just know what I like and what I don't. It's masculine without being overbearing. It's fresh, not sweet. For me, leans slightly towards a cologne type scent. Even thought it has citrus as the opening scent listed below, I don't really think of citrus when I first smell it, although that's definitely what gives it freshness. But again, I'm not good at this at all.
Scent Profile: Citrus (Lemon, Bergamot & Mandarin Orange), White Musk, Jamaican Ginger, White Pepper, Haitian Vetiver, Hiba Wood, Honey Amber, Black Sage, Peppermint, Jerusalem Pine
