Second daughter well received - hurrah! - and I got my first shave since Wednesday yesterday, giving both V60 and the Yaqi Moka brush their first uses in a splendid coffee themed shave. Absolutely smashing scent, with more notes and complexity appearing with lather vs sniffed from the tub. Notes listed by Kerry are coffee, cocoa, vanilla, benzoin and tobacco. I don't think I identified the latter, but the rest I did and as a whole it is indeed a superb gourmand, in a more literal sense than usually in an olfactory context. If you love coffee, like I do, this will surely hit the mark! (I followed up with a few drops of SV Cosmo balm — though I didn't need it — which shares a few notes with V60. And, if I hadn't had a baby at home, I'd have gone for a spray of Mark Birley's Charles Street to top it all.)
@Rohleder The brush. Mine does not have much of a glue bump, and it doesn't feel like there's a cone in the middle. Maybe 6-7mm. Curious how these knots are so different. Performed great and felt great, if perhaps in an ideal word could have been backboned up a notch, though Inappreciated its splay-willingness relative to eg the Tuxedo.
