Razor: Titanium Diamondback
Blade: Wizamet
Brush: SV 2.0 Cocobolo/Manchurian Badger
Soap: B&M Kalyptos
AS : Witch Hazel + B&M Kalyptos
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 2,094
Kalyptos has eucalyptus, peppermint and spearmint essential oils in it for a bright and fresh cooling scent. I find it interesting the name and a little Googling found the meaning of Eucalyptus as what Will used as in Greek it's meaning is as quoted below:
The name "eucalyptus" is a product of the Greek words 'eu' and 'kalyptos,' and translates to "well covered." Eucalyptus flower buds that have yet to bloom are covered and protected by an abundance of the lush eucalyptus leaves that we adore.
I find the scent and cooling refreshing and while it has a nice strength to enjoy, it's not an in your face overdone strength. The cooling is also at a level to enjoy the cooling without being at a freeze your face level. Want more freeze and you could always add menthol or a synthetic cooling agent of your choosing which are available from many sources. I'm glad I got this and have another Omnibus Base soap with a scent I'll reach for year round but especially in the warmer months. Great job Will Barrister_N_Mann !
