Cinder: "a dark tangy mix of bergamot, lemon, fir, and geranium with a hint of wood, leather, and musk", dark in colour, too, near purple. Quite goth!
In use, with this Vig Silvertip (simply set into a bottle cap), a good scent with a slight tingle akin to a dying fire - I reckon that'll be the essential oils. Quite reminiscent of Tabac in many ways. The Silvertip was okay - it's my first badger shave in a good, long time. Okay, not as soft as synthetic, floppier and wetter. Meh?
The open comb Damaskeene gave a mild shave, a really mild shave ...
