Agua Colonia Antiga
iKon Standard Head
Maggard Green 2 Band Badger

Have you used the Agua Colonia as an aftershave? Do you think it would be too concentrated to use that way?
Thanks.

Yes full blast out of the bottle which has no diverter. A lot of lemon which is okay by me.

Ethos Grooming stuff: DFS Colonia shaving soap and splash and custom Honeysuckle soap and splash, as well as Vanilla Safi aroma blend. Also a Chiseled Face Santa Paula soap. The Colonia smells good. The Honeysuckle smells incredible (like walking by a huge blooming honeysuckle bush on a summer day, as my wife said), and I can hardly wait to shave with it. The Santa Paula I'm not so sure about; I may just re-sell it without using it.

Nice brush. I am not envious at all. Nope. Very happy for you, (sob, my precious!).



Congrats, Paul, it is gorgeous!

My Friend Eric MaineYooper was kind enough to give me this 28mm G5A Synthetic Knot!

It looks very cool and I’m excited to try it tomorrow. I’ll post my thoughts in my DFS Journal.

Thanks again Eric!

Wow, it really looks great in that handle! Hope it works out for you!
