O'Botacario (Brazilian) is a little known manufacturer of men's and women's fragrances. It's difficult to find in the USA, but imho it can't be beat as a great finish to a shave."Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Mark Twain

Buddel | Semogue Custom Boar | Martin de Candre | Sabon | Lorenzo Villoresi Vetiver
This is my official application for membership in the Buddel Razor club. What an incredible shave! Yesterday I received my new custom 7/8 French Point in suminagashi steel with camel bone scales from Germany. It is a stunning looking blade, but the shave was even better. With this manly blade I accessorized its maiden voyage with the wonderful French soap, a workhorse Portuguese brush, Israeli ASB and my favorite Italian scent. Not one piece disappointed--other than the fact that after one pass, my skin was so smooth that I was worried I wouldn't get to do a second pass!
I am on top of the world, ready for court!
Thank you Gabor for this stunning piece of craftsmanship!
