I don't have the Kaizen base but here it is:

A refined take on an Oriental-Fougère. Grecian Horse in our all-new Kaizen Base, features an unexpected almond note, slightly sweet, yet somewhat bitter and warm. Vanilla steals the show in the base of this superb scent, while bergamot, sandalwood and amber tame the sweetness, rendering it refined and inviting. One smell and you'll be swept away in its sophistication and majesty transporting you back to the XVIII century.

Notes: Bergamot, Almond, Saffron, Vanilla, Lavender, Jasmine, Heliotrope, Spices, Amber, Sandalwood


Grecian Horse is a dupe of Parfums de Marly Pegasus.

Thanks, I knew it was a dupe but couldn't remember of what

Old School Shave Today

Tuesday December 1, 2020
Razor: Valet Auto Strop
Blade: Gem (2)
Brush: Rubberset 400/ Clouds Ferrule / Oumo Badger
Soap: Palmolive Stick
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Palmolive Aftershave
Fragrance: Azzaro Visit


Decided to go old school today as my Palmolive aftershave came in the mail yesterday. 1st the soap. Palmolive is a great soap that if it wasn't a stick I would probably use more often......................excuses, excuses. I just should grab it more and may do that now that i have the matching aftershave. It's a slick soap when you get it right which is easy. I did have some trouble today and had to reapply some from the stick for pass 3. This big Oumo knot needed much more product than I gave it. The ferrule was turned by Claudio that does amazing work and is a most generous member that we need to hear from more often (yeah, you buddy  Tongue ) The razor you don't read about enough but these Auto Strops give amazing shaves with a despined and nipped corners of a Gem blade. (easier to do than you think) and they are cheap to get or find at flea markets. The aftershave reminds me just slightly of Skin Bracer. Similar notes except a little less powder and slightly less sweet and more medicinal. It's smells good to me. That's all I got today. Early appointment for the wife getting a scope again to recheck the throat to be sure things aren't progressing with Barretts Esophagus. Not expecting any issues. Thanks for reading and commenting and Have a great day DFS !!!

I echo Gear's comment and hope it went well. My wife goes in early Friday for scoping to check Crohns, and we hope that it goes well. She had a colectomy in 2012.

My wife has the beginnings of Barrets Dave. Hope the appointment went well. We have our bed on an incline. About 6 inches. Took me a while to get used to. 
Can't afford one of those fancy beds. So a few bricks under the bedpost.  Gerry rigging at it's finest.
