Ethos 50% Nuage de Citron and 50% Unscented, then a drop of a special lemon aroma blend from Frank.  

Nuage does have sandalwood as a base note so I like to tamp that down.  It gives the lemon a creaminess but I do have asthma so I am careful on my sandalwood scents.  

The base is amazing.  This is one of the few I don’t need anything other than a splash with.  No oily post shave, no stickiness, it’s just right for me.   You will know where the extra dollars went!
DTV. Yes sir. That creamy vanilla lemon is really classy. If I were to choose one soap every day for the rest of my life, it would be this one or Vetivert. Frank's new F base, IMHO, is an order of magnitude better than the early version. And that is not a dig - just a fact that the improvement, at least for a face latherer like me were very palpable.

This sample puck is holding its own. I'll finish it up...just a question of when.  The Old Spice, however, is kicked.

MdC Fougere which is excellent by the way. The tub is not factory but this gifted small jar is too tiny to lather and load from and I don’t like lather bowls (I know. Heretic.) so I moved it to a Salters tub and rednecked the labels.  The brush sports a natural silvertip badger which is excellent. I don’t care for over-stuffed stiff brushes that feel like a Brillo glued to a broom handle. And although I own some gels I prefer natural tips.  Good brush and a fantastic shave.
