I like it a lot actually. I wish I had more than a sample to be honest. It doesn't really strike me as "barbershop" as the description suggests, but I guess it could be a more classy, sophisticated take on the genre. The dogwood and ginger combine for a fresh and clean floral note while the patchouli adds some earthiness and depth to the blend. I'm not sure what oak smells like (wood, I guess lol) or where it comes in, but it all combines for a wonderful scent.
Thanks, that sounds really promising! I’m glad it’s available in more than just a travel-size aftershave, now. I’ll have to get a sample next time I order from PAA, seems like a great scent.

I don't have this scent, but I can say unequivocally that their soap formula is absolutely wonderful.

Not sure when it happened but they switched all their soaps to have the Crown King formula, which includes kokum butter, avocado oil, cocoa butter, and shea butter.

I have like 30-something scents by them in this formula and I love them all except a very few which are, to my nose, still okay.
But the vast majority are excellent scents.

My favorite soap formula right now and I don't see that changing any time soon.

I've used the Crown King formula a few times, and it is very nice. I liked the outphased PAA formula, as well, but it's definitely clearer and better to just carry a single base, when the catalogue is as huge as Phoenix's.

I never used the old formula, but glad to see reassurance that they made the right choice with choosing the Crown King formula for all scents now.

Best Shave Of my entire wet shaving expierences
Preshave: Proraso white
Brush: Shavemac D01 28mm 2band
Soap: THB tell tale heart
Bowl: CastleShave lather bowl
Razor: 9/8 Wade & Butcher FBU dressed in African Blackwood Scales
Aftershave & Perfume/Cologne: THB Tell Tale Heart

Had a bad experience with this set up my first time I tried.... could have been the edge of my razor as I have already rehoned that one but this time it was absolutely stupendous. Hands down best shave ever. Mind you this isn’t a cheap set up lol but it got me BBS with 4days of growth! Love it and had to share! Enjoy your shaves guys!
