Nice. How close does Freedberg come to Aventus?

Thank you! To be honest I've never smelled the aventus but from what I've read it's really similar. The scent to me is a woodsy pineapple. I've always heard the aventus described that way as well. The scent is great and lingers after the shave. Great soap!

Terrific shave that I got today with this combination of my den. The brush works very well, and the scent of the PPF soap is really good. As for the cobra, nothing to say but that it is one of my best razors.


Bye!
