Grapefruit!

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Papa Eld with Declaration Grooming B3 knot
  • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 2 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver
  • Aftershave: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver
  • Fragrance: Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver
  • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

Not the dominant note at all, I long didn't notice the grapefruit in Desert Vetiver/Eau Intense Vétiver until last week when I sniffed it next to CB Purple Grapefruit. Now it's just obvious. Funny how noses work.

Great setup! This is my plan for Vétiver Vendredi. I did not notice the grapefruit note until you pointed it out.
