What do you think of the scent of the DRH Lavender? True EO or dusty/powdery? Or just fake? That's one of the DRH range I've never got around to trying for some reason (strange as this may seem to those who know me as a lavender-head)SOTD – Wed.06Nov2024

Zingari`s ROGUE collaboration scents are gorgeous for meLavender, citrus, moss... I suspect that combination may be right up my alleyway. I already know the Zingari base is really excellent.

09 November - Shave No. 1787
This razor does not get the use it deserves. It is my travel razor, a Titan ACRM T.H-70, a very hard stainless steel blade ⅞ (21mm Dutch point half hollow dressed in African black wood timber scales. The edge is finished and maintained on diamond pasted balsa. The blade takes a lot of careful work to get a great edge on it, but once there it shaves beautifully and the edge can last a long time with just a light stropping on clean leather before each shave.

I get a genuine scent of Lavender but there seems something else to soften the floral, maybe Sandalwood ... I don't have a good nose that distinguishes aroams well though.What do you think of the scent of the DRH Lavender? True EO or dusty/powdery? Or just fake?
