SPECIAL UNBOXING 💙💛 A couple of years back I SPECIAL UNBOXING
💙💛
A couple of years back I was fortunate enough to work with a Barbershop in Ukraine. I got to explore their amazing pomades. We stayed in contact during these dark times.

Some how by the power of the Gods, the will to hold on, the drive to keep on doing what defines them, our boys at @scissorhandstm have managed to create a whole new line of solid colognes. And get a parcel out to me. 

Hope you enjoy the unboxing. Expect to see a number of features.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇨🇦

SPOILER ALERT – Meh!   GREEN WOOD by DSQUARED2 SPOILER ALERT – Meh!
 
GREEN WOOD by DSQUARED2 has been on my wish list for almost a year and I recently lucked out with a bottle at my local Pharmaprix in the discount bin.
 
Why did want a bottle of this? 
• DSQUARED2 is an original Canadian brand
• The imagery and scent palette of Green Wood
• I took in a number of reviews that raved about it
• The top notch packing and presentation
 
TOP:  Lemon, Bourbon Pepper , Santolina
MID: Vetiver, Cedar, Resins
BASE: Ambroxan, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Musk.
 
For my nose this comes out as floral, powdery, feminine, slightly green and without wood.  Basically, the name of this fragrance took me on a ride in the opposite direction to what the fragrance is about.
 
I am not saying that this is a bad arrangement, but rather that is it completely different than what I expected.  Further more, I practically can’t identify any of the listed notes.  It almost feels like the Perfumer and marketing folks didn’t connect and if they did, the party didn’t cover the fragrance.
 
I am disappointed as I had high hopes for this bottle, but you can’t love’em all!
 
A while back I had essentially stopped buying fragrances from big houses as I was regularly encountering this kind of scenario. Over the last year, for some reason I started doing impulse purchases which I am gradually catching up on. 
 
Let’s just say that so far, my money would have been better spent on a bottle from a small passionate niche Artisan.
SOAP BAR – POGBANU SHEA   After a week and half SOAP BAR – POGBANU SHEA
 
After a week and half of using the @pogbanusoaps soap bar – I am a fan.  Actually, I love it! 😍
 
With it being January, the air is cold and my skin typically starts showing many signs of fatigue and serious dryness.  The main symptom being itchiness.  This soap bar has been a game changer!
 
First off, no allergic reactions!  And secondly, this bar has been a perfect shower partner. I haven't felt this good in quite some time.
 
TAKEAWAYS
•••••••••••••••••
• Natural composition
• Shea butter based
• Large bar that doesn’t melt away too fast (160gr)
• Grapefruit & Bergamot aroma is sweet and fresh and gauged just right
• Feels good to use
• Creates mild suds
• Does a great job at making me feel clean
• Rinses off very easily
• Leaves my skin refreshed and moisturized
• Addendum - great on my beard too
 
I have had very good results with a few natural soap bars, with olive oil based ones doing better, but this Toronto made soap has to be my favorite to date.

NEXT SHOWER PARTNER   The POGBANU SHEA – GRAPEF NEXT SHOWER PARTNER
 
The POGBANU SHEA – GRAPEFRUIT BERGAMOT soap bar will be joining me in the shower next.
 
As you know, I am on a mission to find that perfect natural soap bar and this quest brought me to the doors of POGBANU SHEA.
 
This one is made in Toronto, Ontario (Canada) and has a very short ingredient list:
 
• Shea Butter
• Coconut Oil
• Olive Oil
• Castor Oil
• Sodium Hydroxide
• Fragrance
• Castor Oil
• Citric Acid
• Kaolin Clay
 
The first 3 ingredient are part of my favorite top performers for skin and hair, so I am pretty excited to be getting naked with this one.
 
Stay tuned for the full review.

AMAZING MAIL CALL I can't imagine the ride this b AMAZING MAIL CALL

I can't imagine the ride this box must of had getting from Ukraine to Canada. I am speachless... 

Running a Barbershop is a tough job on the best of days. Running a grooming brand is pushing things to the next level. Doing that while your homeland is under attack... UNBELIEVABLE!

Expect to see an unboxing and then product features for @scissorhandstm

SHAVE BOWL HACK Have you been looking for a shave SHAVE BOWL HACK

Have you been looking for a shave bowl but couldn't justify the price + taxes + shipping?

Go to your local mega grocery store and take a look in their dish section. I found these 3 bowls priced at $4 each @provigoqc in Quebec and @loblawson in Ontario.

In the end I paid less for these 3 bowl than I would for what I was considering on-line for just one.
