Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,598


This is available to preorder now for April 5th. mrdoug let me know Pasteur's was giving free samples in advance for the asking. It is an exclusive for them and a homage to Miles Davis and NYC Jazz.

Notes: tobacco leaf, tobacco flower, lemon, pink pepper, neroli, rum, tonic bean, dried fruit, cedar, vanilla bean

The scent is not a normal dupe, instead using a couple of different dupe oils and my own touch, making this an entirely unique scent. Birth of the Cool is one-third Maison Margiela Jazz Club, one-third Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, and one-third my own special tobacco scent blend."

The way the sample came was less than convenient but free is free and who can complain. I had trouble getting it open enough to get some out and ended up scooping all I could with a finger inserted into the tight envelope and smearing what I could get off my fingers and hand into my Turkish copper bowl. It's a soft soap for sure but produced a tremendous lather which had me thinking I do need to get some Macduff's into the den and the scent was a nice one to me and a good strength to enjoy throughout the shave. I was actually thinking I should just order it and then thought I should find another scent I like to get 2 and make shipping count. That's when my recent restraint thinking kicked in and I thought, I do want this one but don't need it now and will get it down the road and a 2nd with it if i find another scent I like when not in a rush. I loved the lather consistency which was easy to get and it rinsed clean from tools as well as cleanly off my face which some with tons of oile do not and bugs me. Macduff's will certainly be added to my den down the road. Everyone have a great day !

Just an FYI, I'm pretty sure shipping at Pastuers is free by selecting USPS FC / Parcel ( 5-10 Business Days)

I’m curious how the Lavender Supreme and the Tonka Bean combo worked out? That’s a new one and what were the percentage s of each you used.

An thank you for sharing!

No. 63 (Pré de Provence) spiced wood
Shave 1 ・ 100% left

This is a rich and complex fragrance with a top note of peppery citrus rounded by the warmth of cedarwood. Juicy plum and violet leaves lend a sweet and floral element to the mix, while the finish is a rich base of leather and tobacco. To be brief, it smells good.

Enriched with Shea butter, this fragrant soap is not only a treat for the nose but also a boon to the skin. However, take care when you start scraping. The cushion isn’t the deepest. It’s best to go light and easy with your razor, keeping your mind on the blade while enjoying the rich, elegant fragrance.
