Facial Toner: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel & Aloe Toner
Aftershave Talc: Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Talc





Result: 4.6/5.0
The QED Vetiver is a bit strong and odd smelling in the tub but once you put it on your face it mellows out nicely. Lot's of lather, good slickness and glide. It has a decent amount of cushion. I was a bit weird today and used Musgo Real ASB as my balm and topped it with Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel. For some reason, it worked even though it was after I used a Vetiver soap. OK, well, maybe I was asleep when I made the choices. I don't know. I do know, my face smells nice and feels good. The rough patch from yesterday is fine. Another day and all gone. Price you pay for experimenting.
