I see that you like the Merkur de razor, Simpsons Chubby and MWF too. It also appears that you had a great follow up to your shave. How is the Creed Aventus?

It's nice but seems to be a tad light and/or fleeting. Todat it was the third time I was wearing it.
Re the notes I'd have to elaborate more after I continue to 'feel' the perfume on me. Read the other day over at B&B (from StylinLA) that it attracts women like flies...

The Aventus is a nice "modern" acquatic style cologne from Creed. It's not my favorite from the house, and has a bit more of a synthetic note to it IMHO than most of their older (particularly the vintage/discontinued lines), but it does seem to resonate with women (especially the younger crowd). Overall, a nice offering, but definitely one to try first...

Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: OCD Razors (Bob Allman) P.O.C. 15/16
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Wahl Bay Rum
Results: Not as good as I was hoping. It's been a little while since I used this one but tonight it was pulling a little so its time for a touch up. Still after 2 passes I'm pretty smooth, not a bad shave.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics boys.
