Perhaps. Might try thatMethyl eugenol, a type of ether (strictly, 1,2-Dimethoxy-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)benzene for an IUPAC definition). Aside from being an anti-fungal and preservative, I'm told it repels insects, so your aftershave might be useful around the BBQ
Have you tried it? Smells great

I've never been one for aftershaves. Last week I was going to break that habit and order some Stirling Bergamot Lavender EDT from Artisan Arcade, but I spent the money on your brush insteadPerhaps. Might try that

this is a soap that I have wanted to try for a long time. How would you describe the scent. Is it really lime forward?

Blackland Brassbird Open Comb + Astra
Gillette popular model + Rhodium knot
Wolfpac Silk Road
Very close two pass shave. This has about the same efficiency as yesterday's shave (Charcoal Goods, lvl 3, OC). However, it is not as smooth as the C.G. with the teeth certainly feeling a bit harsher. Still a fine shave though.

Brush: Proraso Omega boar
Razor: Karve Brass SB (D plate) + WCS M5 style brass handle
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
Soap: Cattie's Bubbles Irish Soap
Pre: Shower + PAA Prickly Pear mentholated pre-shave soap
Post: Mr Royal cologne // APR Escentials Restoration Serum // TSW After Balm
ATG, XTG, ATG = near BBS
In a rush so no picture but still managed a super quick, enjoyable near BBS shave. I'm really enjoying the Platinum blades - thanks @tim33z
I finally ran out of the serum but likely I have a spare as it works wonders. Happy shaves!

Soap: P&B Baskerville
Brush: 26mm TF HMW
Razor: SS Hawk
Blade: Feather Pro Super (1)
AS: Pb Gillean
The SS Hawk took me a little by surprise. I think it's actually smoother than the Black Hawk but I need to go back to the Black Hawk to compare but if I'm right the Black Hawk may get a back seat. Smooth and efficient was the order of the day, up there with the General and the Vector. I tried a Titanium handle for weight and balance but was just as happy to go back to the Bulldog the razor came with.

I have the aluminum Silver Hawk V2 and the SS V3 open comb version. IMHO the latter is smoother and more efficient.
