Fresh Desert

  • Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm × 57 mm boar)
  • Razor: Dovo 41 Inox
  • Lather: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver
  • Aftershave: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver
  • Fragrance: Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver

Lovely shave with Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver dupe Desert Vetiver. Love the scent, love the soap. This could be a nice AA setup.

Hell yeah!! As good as the 70^th^ Anniversary trifecta was for AA, I would prefer your Desert Vetiver setup better. Though DV is regarded as a dupe of EIV, it comes across more as in-family to me, and complements EIV rather than copies it. I have the same feeling about Opuntia and Creed Aventus.
