Nov 14, 2023 - Talent Tuesday: Riviera

  • Brush: Zenith Cobalt Blue 28mm Boar Knot (505BC SE)
  • Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy (Aluminum)
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet [8]
  • Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Riviera - Soap (Vegan)
  • Post Shave: Gentleman’s Nod - Calabria - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Noble Otter - Monarch - Eau de Parfum

Returning to my first AA Raw Hoggin' brush after a while of using badgers and synthetics was a really nice surprise. The knot has developed so well, it really has a better face feel than some of the badgers.

Riviera is a beautiful scent built around neroli. Both it and Calabria have that care-free, Mediterranean coastal town vibe that I needed so desperately this morning. We've had nothing but rain for weeks now.

Monarch layered on the neroli and orange notes with its unique powdery blend of scents.

Rating: 4.5/5
