I don't use vetiver scents often enough. They are delightful. I'm not a big fan of aftershave balms, but every once in a while feels OK.

Octidi 8 Frimaire an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Miel
- Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic Bingcha (Iced Tea)
- Razor: Star 1912 Type Razor
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (29)
- Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Koké
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
This is my first shave with Koké, and as I said, the scent is interesting. Not interesting bad or interesting good, but interesting interesting. According to them:
TOP NOTES: Bergamot, Pimpinella, Rhubarb
HEART NOTES: Ginger, Animal Notes, White Pear
BASE NOTES: Vine Leaves, Tahitian Vanilla, Guaiac Wood
I get the rhubarb and the animal notes, and there is also something woody about it. But I don't really know for the moment what to think of this.
This was also the first time I used their new hard soap base. I managed to overload, and this is probably the first time ever this has happened to me with AYLM. My face feels great (as always with their soaps).
While I meditate on the scent notes, have a nice evening!

November 28th, 2025
- Brush: Maggard Razors 24mm Synthetic
- Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed
- Blade: Astra Superior Platinum SP (1)
- Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Soap
- Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm
Astra SP are very popular, but historically they haven't appealed to me for various reasons. I haven't used one in a while so decided to see if I was missing anything. They're fine... but I'm not missing anything.
The soap base from Summer Break Soaps is incredible! Woodshop is a wonderful, warm scent.
