Floris Vetiver Edt

First time with the Haydn Randall (a replacement for the Robeson that I bought a few weeks ago...a long involved story there...) and I got two decent passes ( I am still struggling with the neck area ATG and below the nose) and finished with the '51 Superspeed/Lord pairing. A DFS result...I think the Lord is close to done after four days (which for me is below average in terms of longevity) but the Floris is a wonderful finish that stays with me for much of the day.
