  • Brush: Brad Sears Arley 26mm Super Badger

  • Blade Holder: Gillette Super Adjustable 109 (Black Beauty) Gold O-4

  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (1)

  • Lather: Saponificio Varesino - Desert Vetiver - Soap

  • Aftershave: Saponificio Varesino - Desert Vetiver - Aftershave

  • Fragrance: Hermès - Terre D'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver - Eau de Parfum

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


The earthy and woody nature of vetiver is another scent that I thoroughly enjoy. Like all SV scents (IMO), Desert Vetiver is extremely well done. A beautiful blend.
