  • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

  • Razor: C.V. Heljestrand MK 10 13/16 Half Hollow Square Point

  • Lather: Gentleman's Nod - Tusitala - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: Gentleman's Nod - Tusitala - Aftershave

  • Fragrance: Gentleman's Nod - Tusitala - Parfum Extrait

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I don't see a lot of Gentleman's Nod used around here. The fragrance for Tusitala was created by a perfumer, and it shows. Lots of notes, but the scent is subtle and sophisticated. I like it a lot but think that the Parfum Extrait could be bolder. I used Brut yesterday so it could be that my nose has reverted to wanting mid-1960's scent strength.
