⚜ Ouh là là! Mon 11 Nov 2024 ⚜

  • Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)
  • Razor: Schick Repeating Razor Type B
  • Blade: Personna Injector Blade
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Fleur de France
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Fleur de France
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Fleur de France

Fleur de France is such an odd-ball. Half a Fougère (missing the green) on one hand, and powerful musk on the other. At first sniff, you brace for a stanky animalistic scent, and instead it's clean smelling. I love it. Getting a backup set of this discontinued scent was the right decision.

This one was where I drew the line on the Seaforth! scents. Sounds nice, but I lean more towards the citrusy, spicey, woodsy, tobaccoy direction for scents.

sehr schick!

[yes, used google translate guessing that chique translated to schick in German]

[it's one of the few German words that made it into French and back again]
