Lovely shave with Terre d’Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver dupe Desert Vetiver. Love the scent, love the soap. This could be a nice AA setup.

Hell yeah!! As good as the 70th Anniversary trifecta was for AA, I would prefer your Desert Vetiver setup better. Though DV is regarded as a dupe of EIV, it comes across more as in-family to me, and complements EIV rather than copies it. I have the same feeling about Opuntia and Creed Aventus.

More Petrichor. It’s opening day at the local swimming pond and my sister is in town with her kids. We’re going to take a dip, then come home for nap time, then maybe go fishing, then start up the grill for dinner. It’s going to be quite a day.

I refreshed the edge on this chopper for the first time since getting it. Roman has great steel, and it’s a perfect marriage with the Nakayama. I wish I had done this sooner. I liked the edge on it just fine before. I absolutely love it now.
Damn fine shave.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I bought Roman Spice on the advice of @whosgotthepudding . I should take his advice more often.
This 6/8 Dubl Duck is a new arrival. I have the 5/8 as well, but much prefer the razor in this size.
