Blush A bit of grime, the scent of fresh cut grass, and a bunch of sweat ... from mowing the lawn

On the west coast of the US, I experienced products similar to what Chris describes - mostly unscented, powdery alcohol splashes. But like Freddy, I've had barbershop visits in a few places and each of them had significantly different scent profiles and associations. For instance, at a barbershop in Virginia they used a splash that must have been something closely related to Fine's American Blend. In a trendy Turkish barbershop in London, I received a couple of sly spritzes of Creed's Aventus from a leather wrapped pocket atomizer. In Murdock at Liberty, the scent of the creams reminded me of black tea. Another London barber of Spanish descent used something that smelled powdery and sweet like Myrsol's F-Extra. In various videos I've seen of proper shaves in Italy, Proraso green seems to be a popular choice.

For me barbershop associations are especially fun to chat about because of the differences in regional experiences.

For this morning's shave, I decided to go cheap and cheerful (and dare I say 'barbershop') with Master Lilac Vegetol After Shave Lotion.

I have read many negative reviews for Le Vainqueur, but it's one I truly enjoy. This is my recently acquired second bottle. Although not on this forum, I must give thanks to Bill Ruhling for introducing me to this fragrance.
