Aftershave: Gentleman's Nod Musashi

In honor of Earth Day, I decided to use Gentleman's Nod Musashi. I also thought it most appropriate to use a synthetic brush and vintage hardware. With that said, the Gillette Super Adjustable is one of my favorite vintage Gillette razors, and this special release gold one is extra special to me.

In keeping with the vintage theme I opted for a T4 (1973) Gillette Blue Blade. Compared to some modern-day blades these aren't "the best a man can get". The nostalgia is strong with these blades though which makes them pretty cool in my book.

I did a three-pass shave with the G.N. C4+ soap base coming through like a champ. It really is a great soap base that I highly recommended you try if you've never.

The fragrance of Musashi is like no other in the wet shaving world. It's well-crafted and uniquely sophisticated, to say the least. I definitely appreciate the attention to detail that went into crafting this fragrance. It's a favorite of mine for sure.

With my shave complete I did my post-shave ritual, finishing that up with some matching Musashi aftershave. The aftershave feels different but in a good way. The oil in it feels soothing when applied but after the dry-down, the oily feeling is gone and you're left with a great post-shave feel.

So, a great shave was had and I'm thankful for all of the resources our amazing Earth provided to facilitate it.

On this Earth Day 2023 please do something, anything, to show your appreciation for this truly wonderful spaceship Earth we all live on.

Take care everyone and enjoy your shaves.
