Enter, The Dragon... Hahaha. Come on. I just had to do it. The fruit was hanging too low.

If you don't know what this label is about then you're either very young or are missing the gene for liking badass martial arts movies. Either way, you're not going to want to miss out on this shaving soap.

Its scent notes are bamboo, pear, apple, orange, rosewood, sandalwood, jasmine, and musk. When I read this I was immediately interested. Some woods, some musk, and some fruits that include pear! My interest was piqued for sure!

Now that I've used it. If I had to boil this one down I'd say it's a beautifully balanced cologne type. When I say beautifully balanced I really mean it. The Dragon is a fantastic fragrance that smells like a sophisticated, sexy, modern-day cologne.

The woods, jasmine, musk and fruit notes all come together in an elegant accord. The bamboo and pear notes are really good. Then there are the jasmine and apple notes that follows. I genuinely like this fragrance and will most definitely be picking up the aftershave when I can. I'm also seriously considering the EdP as well. It's just that good!

I did a three-pass shave with my lovely Artist Club O.R.E.N. And at level three with a ProGuard blade I find it to be an efficient sweet spot for obtaining a great shave.

Seeing as I don't yet have the matching aftershave, I opted for some tried and true Lucky Tiger aftershave / face tonic. It did a nice job of soothing my skin, capping off this training session. I mean shave.

I entered the dojo, trained with a sharp tool then walked out a better man.

Take care my my friend and enjoy your shaves.
