Cool (Barrister & Mann) mossy citrus
Shave 1
Cool smells like the classic aftershave Floïd Blue (1932). Notes of bergamot, oakmoss, mint, and labdanum give it a fresh but still earthy scent. With this mix of resin, moss, and citrus, I suppose we’ll have to call it a chypre. Here’s why I chose it. I’m reading The Maltese Falcon (1930), and for some reason, Cool reminds me of the detective Sam Spade from the book. They’re both a mix of clean and dirty, and they just seem to fit together perfectly in my mind.
TommyCarioca has been raving about this Omnibus base, and he’s right. It’s truly fantastic. A wee dab of soap is all it takes to make a tremendous mound of thick, slick, well cushioned lather that gives a painless three-pass shave. And the finish is smooth but not greasy. Very nice.
