Amazing shave today. This new (to me) razor and Dragonsbeard were a perfect match.

The promonent notes of Dragonsbeard are agarwood and oud resin. I'm declaring this to be on theme :)

video if you want to see the razor.

Thanks for sharing, that’s a really beautiful blade.

You keep tempting me to buy some Dragonsbeard. I think I may be a sucker too. :)

Thank you!

It is everything that the scent notes suggest. I think it's a great fragrance, but I'm always drawn to towards those scent notes. What I don't remember is what time of the year he releases it. It sells out pretty quickly, I think.
