Sep 30, 2023 - Sample September: Clichê

  • Prep: Klar - Activated Charcoal - Face Soap
  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Fu Dao Flare 26mm V20 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Blutt Rasur BR-1 0.99
  • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [9]
  • Lather: West Coast Shaving - Clichê - Soap
  • Post Shave: Areffa Soap - Phantom of Kyiv - Aftershave

Clichê initially reminded me of NO Barrbarr. It is WestMan's take on a barbershop, but the scent unfolded differently, oscillating between bold citrus (eucalyptus, bergamot, grapefruit), warm, earthy and amber notes (vanilla, tobacco, leather, vetiver, patchouli), and musky sandalwood. By the end of the shave, the scent had won me over.

Rating: 4.5/5
