Novaya Zarya Russian Forest Cologne (as Aftershave)
Back on the single edge tonight ...
I've almost finished a trio of TDS samples kindly sent to me by
@Jester some months ago, so I squished them all together to make a fun blend - I have Juniper, Rose & Lilac. The combined scent put me very much in mind of Novaya Zarya's Russian Forest Cologne, which is more like a floral glade than a deep forest. Perfect partners!
I've had one of these S-Brush brushes from Omega before and simply cannot recollect using it. I bought another. I hoped for a kinda synthetic boar, which is it but time has moved on since Omega released this fibre and to be frank ... it's not as good as Cashmere for that super-soft synthetic boar feel. It's good. It doesn't at all sling like I thought it would as it's a very spring knot.
I have a feeling it would be more at home in a long handled "professional" format and I might well pull the knot and drop it into a handle that I have from DS Cosmetics, which has a pretty rank boar in it at the moment.
