Phoenix Shaving | St. Martin's Land
Phoenix Shaving - The Green Ray | Tribble Synthetic
Durham-Enders | Enders Speed Shaver | Schick Proline B-20

Phoenix Shaving's ad copy for St. Martin's Land calls it "neo barbershop".  This is actually a spot on description, so there's really no need for me to blather on.  But I will anyway...

While the notes are the same, the soap and splash unfold differently.  The lather opens with a bold neroli and powder.  It's actually classic barbershop right off the bat.  So where's this "neo" thing?  Well, it's promptly backed up by a rich blood orange (still classic barbershop) and finally a peculiar Asian spiciness (there it is) before descending to a damp vegetation-green fragrance.  It never really gets murky or mossy, but it certainly broaches it.  At the tail end of the shave, the prior floral powder morphs into a sandalwood powder. Interestingly, the splash opens with this same green accord but it's a bit brighter and cooler and even a flash of camphor.  Neroli still makes a presence, but sharp, bitter citrus is much more prominent for a time.  About an hour later the citrus burns off in favor of soft powdery wood with lingering exotic spice. 

I really enjoyed St. Martin's Land.  Neroli is a fragrance I absolutely love, but it's a floral that's often inclined to overwhelm my nose (this is the reason I had to pass on Planet 9).  Thankfully, St. Martin's Land artfully balances it with the green and woods such that it's quite wearable for me.

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shave Soap
Jayaruh #2 Two-band badger
Bunny V3 Injector
Schick Proline
CWR
Cella ASB

The Musgo Real Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #2 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V3 Injector with a Schick Proline blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Great picture, and I enjoyed the read, too.
