Vetiver v. (Le Père Lucien) cedar
It's been six hours since I put my blade down and still not a trace of a barb. I don't know what to make of Le Père Lucien's soaps. They give me either the best shaves I've ever had, or the worst. Today I was lucky. Though the lather was thin and coarse, it was very slick and protective. I came away with a great shave, and my cheeks are still as smooth as a red rubber eraser. How did it smell? In spite of the name, the soap really isn't redolent of vetiver. It's straight up cedar to me. To make peace with my disappointed schnoz, I gave myself a few drops of Bruno Fazzolari's Lampblack, a deep, smoky vetiver cologne that registers about half way between India ink and a burn barrel.
