Dupe Day!
There are so many just awful dupes out there.
I have two “classic scents” I love. Aqua di Parma for the Spring and Summer, Terre D’Hermes for the Fall/Winter….
I bought this tub of Dapper Dragon late in 2019 from his Etsy site. He went out of business in 2020.
The soap lists Coconut Oil as number 2 or 3 on the ingredients. But this also has Tallow, unlike his Vegan options. It does foam up quickly when first lathering.
However, I was able to work up a beautiful lather that was much richer and thicker than what I remembered from using this soap before.
The shave was really pretty good. No bad feedback from the “Stone That The Bot Forgot”….
2 passes plus neck buffing.
The real story is the scale polish. It’s soothing, relaxing and refreshing all at the same time. It has a touch of menthol, and apparently is based upon an aloe Vera gel.
The Lupo is a Dupe of a Wolfman razor.
The Dogwood brush is simply stunning. It has a B9A+ knot.
Finally, the music from today is by Queen. If you get the chance, check out this live show in Montreal, in 1981. It was recorded in High Definition, which was a rarity back then.
The base line slaps in this…
Queen: Dragon Attack!
