Absolutely, Peter! To be honest, the Crabtree & Evelyn Nantucket Briar is not considered a unisex scent but, rather, a lady's scent.  Frankly, I don't care.  It complements the rest of the shave and I like the scent.  It's rose but not exactly a pure rose scent.

I haven't yet tried the Crabtree & Evelyn so I wouldn't know, but I figured it must have had a bit of rose in it. Rose is one of my favorite fragrance notes, though it is also one of the hardest to balance properly.

My favorite rose fragrances for men are Lumiere Noire Pour Homme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, followed closely by Creed's Royal Mayfair, then Lyric Man by Amouage. I've combined these many times with Trumper's rose shaving cream. Something about the scent of rose is calming, and that is always enhanced after the shave by using Trumper's Coral Skin Food (which I pair with many other aftershave products and rose fragrances).

Besides being calming, I find a rose scent to be uplifting along with the promise of a summer day. Corny, I suppose, but hey, it works for me. Big Grin

That Bald Guy with the Big Beard

Had a surprise waiting for me when I got home tonight. I had exchanged PM's with a fellow member here, and he offered to send me a couple blades. A couple of tucks of blades turned into a box of soaps and samples and a BUNCH of blades. So I'm looking at another couple weeks of "no repeats" ahead of me!

Razorock "Classic"-awesome freaking soap. Scent, performance, and post all excellent.

Personna Blue-HOLY smooth! I've never used a Personna before tonight. I now understand why they are so popular.
