    • Lather: Gentleman's Nod - Tusitala - Soap

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    Tusitala came in the mail last night. The soap and scent are great. I'm very happy to have this. The fragrance sounds a little like a random bunch of notes were thrown together:

    Bright and zesty citrus. Exotic and spicy cardamom. A tangy green peach. A floral combo of Jasmine and Orris. A bittersweet Saffron and rich rum. Rich and natural tobacco leaf and musk. Tonka and deep woods.

    But this was done by a professional perfumer, and you can really tell. It's quite elegant IMO.

    And, after more than 550 straight shaves, I finally found a 2-pass shaving pattern that allows me to get as close a shave around the Adam's Apple as I can on the rest of my face. Slow learner.
