Fragrance clones from Scentville: Amouage Epic Man and Creed Bois du Portugal. Shipping was quite slow, but they arrived in good condition. I have never smelled the originals, so I don't know how similar they actually are, but they smell good in the bottles.

Many thanks - wyzeOne ( Yates razor ) !!!

Today’s Mail Call is brought to you by ecosmetics & Floris London…..

I’ve always been a big fan of Floris & their excellent presentations and quality looking bottles but, not so much of their fragrances. Most on me have been short on performance for the price that one pays and not to ruffle anyone’s feathers but, they do have a bit of a dated feel to them though I will admit they are tastefully done and true classic scents. This one though, imho brings Floris to the 21st century in perfumery with a more modernized touch while still retaining the Floris dna that they are known for. It was love at first sniff a few weeks back when I smelled a sample at a boutique and I had to get me a bottle of this gorgeous smelling juice, Neroli Voyage. Can’t say much about performance, sillage or projection as I just received it today but, it will be up on deck for tomorrow’s shave and work day. Eager to find out to be honest…..

28 SHD Lotus Manchurian  + 28 SHD Lotus Manchurian hand knitted .

A fine package arrived today from a fellow shaver.  

My first brush with a hand-tied knot from Frank of StrikeGoldShave. This knot sets a new benchmark in my brush collection. In addition to unparalleled craftsmanship I cannot speak highly enough about Frank’’s generosity and customer care. I am certainly going to order from him again!
