Fake Yellow Leather Mon 04 Nov 2024
These two scents work so well together, perfect for a second luxury MicroMatic Mammoth Monday shave. For a morning shave, I'd have added Gratiot League Square frag, but that would be a bit much right now. It's a pity that Almond Leather was discontinued, but seeing how Ben really excels at creating new fragrances, this is easy to get over.
I'm really enjoying the return to GEM razors these days. Maybe I will do a complete GEM tour from 1912 to Contour II this month. Although that's always a bit unsatisfying because it starts with a crescendo and ends with a whimper.
I also haven used this fluted C&H brush in a while. I'm considering pulling the knot and replacing it with a v25 Fanchurian. I just don't enjoy this synth knot so much anymore, but I love this handle.
Yeah, that brush handle is a keeper!
