Sample Kill

  • Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm × 57 mm boar)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: D.R. Harris Arlington
  • Aftershave: Noble Otter Firefighter
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co Pharaoh's Dreamsicle
  • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

I don't have a lot of kills under my belt, so I have to celebrate the small victories. This is the end of my Pharaoh's Dreamsicle decant. Today's scentscape has three very different parts tied together by citrus. Fresh, green Fern and Lemon in Arlington, aquatic grapefruit in Firefighter, and warm, sweet orange and oud in Pharaoh's Dreamsicle.

I'm a bit bummed that I can't replace the frag decant, since it's now been discontinued, mais c'est la vie.

The Frio 14 is a joy.
