SOTD 14-20 February 2021

- Omega EVO Special Veteran
- Castle Forbes 1445
- Eversharp Hydro-Magic P30 (a Schick I2, '54-'58), Schick Plus blade (China)
- Pitralon Classic (not shown)
- Castle Forbes 1445 EDP

Always wondered how is the scent of this soap as I seen in quite often and one Italian Youtuber Mauro di Lernia loves it lol..
Amazing brush as well heard it’s Fantastic

I got the 1445 cream because I was already so pleased with the Lavender and the Cedarwood & Sandalwood.  The EDP followed.  Fragrantica has excellent ratings, but based on pitifully few reviews.  Not surprisingly, the Fragrantica note listing matches Castle Forbes's:

• Top Notes – Petitgrain, Lemon
  
• Middle Notes – Tarragon, Lavender
  
• Base Notes – Vetiver, Clove, Patchouli
  

My unschooled nose likes the scent very much.  I get the clean, green vibe and - call me crazy - a bit of something barbershop like too.

As for the EVO brushes, I like them so much that I now own two.  It was not until tonight, while checking a few facts before responding to you, that I realized how incredibly much I am using just these two brushes.  Over the last year, I used the two EVO's alone for roughly 50% of my shaves! Aside for putting a hefty dent in my animal hair use, they have just about entirely displaced every other synth I own.  (For me personally, it's a wakeup call that it may be time for the BST or some PIF's.)

Above all else, the EVO's have - for me - the right combination backbone and splay for face lathering, together with a mild, but delightfully smooth, sritchless scrub.  They won't scrub like a packed Manchurian, but I don't require that.  The EVO's also hold water quite well - more than well enough for three passes and touch-ups; they lather very easily; and the flow through is good.  Add the convenience to the bargain, and they are a real winner.

[font=Georgia][i]Hard, grueling and long week but, it was a hell of a shave this morning. This pandemic has been wreaking havoc everywhere and it has done a number at my employers facility. Down to half capacity due to those affected and have contacted this modern day scourge of a virus. I’ve been fortunate and blessed to have not been affected by it physically but, it’s a constant threat 24-7. Stay frosty, vigilant and keep your heads on a swivel, Gents. And with that a wonderful day and shaves to all....[/font][/i]
