Wetshavers Nook

[Cigar Guy]

My journey/obsession started at Badger and Blade. First, it was aftershave then it quickly moved to razors, shaving soap and brushes.
Then onto fragrance and that led me here.
I remember one fella at B&B told me "If you think all the aftershaves lead you down a rabbit hole wait till you buy a few bottles of fragrance"
Boy was he right about that!
I still have about 40 aftershaves and 20 shavings soaps in rotation along with my 87 bottles of fragrance.

My (now third) batch of PAA samples arrived in the mail yesterday. Two things I appreciate about shaving brands: the availability of ancillary products (deodorant, soap, shave soap, aftershave, EDP, etc.) and the ability to sample at reasonable costs. Wetshaving brands (even the more upscale ones) are a bit more “blue collar”.

I agree. PAA though is offering a classic old-world perfuming style which is truly a luxury even in the niche fragrance world. PAA is a gem of a company. It's why I talk about them to hopefully get people to discover not only great scents but also get introduced to a neat old school shaving tradition.

I very much agree about the performance of CF shave products. Their creams are incredible. I’ll admit I have never tried any of their fragrances, but I’m intrigued by 1445, and maybe I ought to try that cream out as a way to sample the scent.

Well, I've tried the cream, and it shaves great, as I knew it would having used their other shave creams. I also really like the scent, but it's hard to tell how it translates in wearing as an EDP. I would love if anyone could shed some light on how long that delightful lavender-herb combination hangs around and what the drydown is like, as well as performance generally.
