Truefitt & Hill West Indian Limes

Jamie.

Todays shave was splendid, just a little about the raw vanilla eau de cologne, the scent is quite simular to my L'Occitane Bavx EDT, along with the west indian limes I came away feeling as if I just stepped on some exotic Island in the Caribbean, I love the rich sweet sticky scents this shave brought to my nose, simular to a lovely pumpkin cheese cake, anyway two pass shave minor touch up, felling just fine.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Marshall Fields badger
1958 Executive/Feather
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
vintage Caron 'Yatagan' AS (1970s version)
vintage Caron 'Yatagan' EdT (1970s version)

This fragrance has been reformulated over the years, and the juice used this morning is a good bit different than the current version. I'm sorta hoarding these small two ounce bottles and only use em when the call is too strong to resist...heh.

BBS results,

Martin

Very early this morning:

EJDE89
Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow (3)
Vulfix Mix
Men U cream
One Planet Balm
Gucci Sport EDT

This was the last of the small Men U cream tube that came with my first shaving brush. It was the first cream I tried when I started DE shaving. Performed well today, probably moved on from this cream now but nice scent and a nice reminder of those first tentative steps into financial ruin errrrrr I mean the beautiful world of creams, soaps, balms, lotions, colognes, brushes etc etc. Great stuff.
