A very fine shave today. I did remember to use the Chiseled Face pre-shave gel in the shower and will continue it for the coming week.
Dr. Jon’s Propaganda (vanilla, sandalwood, musk, patchouli, and mandarin) is very nice—and I notice that many of the shaving soaps that I say have an excellent fragrance include vanilla as a note. The same with aftershaves: Paul Sebastian, for example, is quite nice (for me) and includes tonka, which has a vanilla fragrance. In fact, look at the base notes for Paul Sebastian (from Basenotes.net):
Top Notes: Sage, Lavender
Heart Notes: Armoise
Base notes: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Myrhh, Musk, Vanilla
Looks as though Paul Sebastian would be a good aftershave to use with Propaganda (which is currently not on their site but is available through ShaveRevolution.com).
At any rate, the HJM brush worked up a really superb lather from the soap, and the Wolfman razor easily accomplished a BBS result in three passes, once more with no nick or other problems.
A good splash of Chiseled Face Easy Street, and the weekend begins.
