Fresh!

  • 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: Fitjar Islands Melderskin
  • Aftershave: Summer Break Soaps Winter Break
  • Fragrance: The Scottish Fine Soaps Company – Vetiver & Sandalwood
  • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

I bought this jar of Fitjar cream years ago, and never fell in love with it. It's a mild scent dominated by menthol, and the performance I've experienced isn't stellar. Revisiting it today didn't change my mind, so this tub goes back to the bottom of the pile.

I've learned the other day that SBS has an old and a new splash formula (since Valedictorian). This should be the old formula with more alcohol.
