Aftershave: P.A.A. Sacré Bleu

I know, I know, opening day was yesterday but I didn't shave yesterday. I shaved today. So, in honor of Major League Baseball, Opening Day, and my team, the Dodgers, I dedicate this shave.

I don't have a ton of blue shaving gear but I just so happened to have both Sacré Bleu software and the I.I.S. Travel Scuttle from Phoenix Shaving. This worked out perfectly for today's Dodger blue theme.

If you don't know, Sacré Bleu is an homage to Aqua Velva and is incredibly good! The scent, the lather, the cooling effect, the post-shave feel... All are outstanding!

If you're even a little bit of a fan of Aqua Velva, do yourself a huge favor and jump on this one. What Phoenix Shaving has done with this software is remarkable and shouldn't be missed. It's just that good!

I busted out the travel scuttle for this fine occasion as it was the perfect choice. It's small, I'll give you that. But it's more than capable of helping you create a great lather as you can see.

I used my Yaqi Ocean for obvious reasons and did a three-pass shave. With the efficiency of the Blackbird Dart, there was no way I was walking away from this shave with anything less than a bbs.

I rounded the bases on this shave and came home with some matching Sacré Bleu aftershave/cologne. I'm sitting here shaking my head and smiling because if you don't know how good this stuff is, you're really missing out.

So, the boys of summer are back and another great shave is in the books. Take care my friends, enjoy your shaves, and let's “play ball”!

I feel there is little more I could add to the storied history and performance of the Aristocrat. Wonderful BBS accompanied by the incredible scenting of Ethos Bergamotto.

Pleasant shaves to all!
