The soap made great lather. Unfortunately, just like with the H&V Cognac and Cuban Cigars soap, something in this one made my skin burn, so I'll have to sell it and the aftershave. It's a shame, because I really like the sandalwood scent.

Perfumer's Choice #9 - Mojo (homage to Tom Ford - Oud Wood)

A favorite razor shaped object.....always fun to use, great shaves, dolphin smooth nearly every time.

First 2022 acquisition, enabled by primotenore. Perfumer's Choice (Milton Lloyd) is a 'copy cat' perfumer based in the UK. The #10 'Mojo' fragrance....just incredible. Some of the fragrantica.com reviews say it's an equal, if not better than the original it copies. Their description much better than anything I can put together: No 10 by Mojo by Milton Lloyd is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. Number 10 'Mojo' was launched in 2021. Top notes are Aromatic Spices and Brazilian Rosewood; middle notes are Cardamom and Agarwood (Oud); base notes are Sandalwood, Vetiver, Amber and Tonka Bean.

Wifey Super approved.

Soap: Fitjar Fjellheim
Brush: Evo Omega
Razor: Rocnel
Blade: Gillette Yellow
Aftershave: Fitjar Fjellheim Aftershave Moisturizer

First use of Fitjar. Since I don't get to wander over mountains all that often, I'm not sure if I can vouch for its tagline that its as though "you rolled in the juniper bushes on your way over the mountain." But it was soft and clean and fir/juniperish. Lathered wonderfully, nice face feel, fine shave. The moisturizer balm is first rate. Very nice.
