  • Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 51 mm Manchurian badger)
  • Razor: Thiers Issard 14 Médaille d'Or 1921 Exposition d'Algier Acier Spécial (7/8", extra hollow, square point, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles – DFTR
  • Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles – DFTR
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – Weinstrasse

Yay for DFTR. This scent is a wonderful puzzle to me. It's fresh and warm and this dissonance is left hanging. The bright green note together with the tobacco reminds me of CGC Armonía, but only as a zeroth-degree approximation. It's lively like Armonía, but the warm dry woody notes pull the whole thing in a different direction. I can see that it'll take me a while to figure out this scent, and I'll enjoy the journey.

Bright green Weinstrasse plays really well with DFTR, and I think I'll try matching it with Valedictorian next.
