  • Brush: These hands
  • Razor: Leaf Elite
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (1)
  • Lather: Barbasol - Original
  • Post Shave: Fine Accoutrements - American Blend
  • Fragrance: Fine Accoutrements - American Blend EdT

Not much to be said about Barbasol, though with some added water it does provide a serviceable shave. Fine American Blend is a great compliment to the scent, though much stronger. I can't say that I pick up any individual notes in Barbasol -- it mostly smells "soapy".

As far as perfuming goes, I do not know enough about individual components to even take an educated stab at it. However, as weird as it sounds — I really like the scent of citronella (at least in Stirling’s Electric Sheep). It somehow has a really fresh and invigorating note to me. I don’t know how well it would mix at all really (perhaps I should find out one of these days), but a mix of something akin to Old Spice (or maybe one of the fresher dupes/takes) crossed with Electric Sheep sounds intriguing.

Barbasol: Purchased from local Target.
