- Brush: Wild West Brushworks Deep Pearl 26mm Sweet Spot Badger
- Razor: Koraat 6/8" Full Hollow (Straight Shave 263)
- Lather: Wholly Kaw - Hiatus - Soap
- Post Shave: Thayers - Lemon - Toner
- Post Shave: Wholly Kaw - Hiatus - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
The Hiatus set arrived a couple of days ago. I'm a fan of Wholly Kaw products in general, and really enjoy the Crème Fraîche base. This scent was just released in that base and was described as a sophisticated Piña Colada fragrance that is not sugary.
I'd say the scent is in the same category as Stirling's Boat Drinks and A&E's SoCal Hipster. It's closest to SoCal Hipster, but there's more rum and less fruit. This is especially noticeable in the splash. Although this is a gourmand scent by definition, the dry-down of the rum in the splash deepens the scent and only leaves hints of the fruity notes. This is a winner for me, but there's very few artisan scents that I can't find something good to say about.
