But they’re close enough and complement each other well.Īs for performance, well, it’s PAA’s stellar CK6 formulation which has never failed to be outstanding for me. The scent of the shave soap is a bit more muted than the cologne: slightly weaker in scent and not quite as “bright” as the aftershave/cologne.
I find it strong and persistent–“a little dab’l do ya” if you know what I mean. I’m not a huge fan of alcohol-based aftershaves and frankly I would consider this a straight-up cologne anyway. Classy and kind of complex (to my nose) without going overboard. It kind of reminds me of some of the scents I smelled as a child when my parents held dinner parties–in a good way. Perhaps more important, does Black Shroud give off a “nostalgic” vibe of the last century and Dean Martin without smelling “old” or like a novelty? I also get a kind of talc or powder note in my nose, which might be the menthol scent coming through.įor you scent-hounds, Basenotes has a short forum thread on Black Shroud. That said, I get woody and spice notes from Black Shroud. ScentĪdmittedly I am not the best person to discuss scent: my notoriously insensitive nose is well-known to Sharpologist readers. However the opinions expressed here are my own and have not been reviewed or approved by PAA. Note: I received a jar of Black Shroud shave soap and a bottle of aftershave/cologne at no cost from PAA.

It is said it was also a favorite of Carey Grant’s if that tells you anything! If you didn’t know, Woodhue was the only fragrance Dean Martin would ever wear! One whiff of this juice and you’ll understand immediately why. This timeless accord, like the original, features a bewitching dry-down from epic amber & creamy sandalwood/vanilla sliding into a sensuous vetiver/cedar finish…. …A spicy, woody oriental, both complex & lively.

An homage to 3 greats Vintage Woodhue by Faberge, Dean Martin…and even Weird Al gets a tip of the hat! (Rather than explain the last one, I’ll just leave it for the geeks to get!) Does this nostalgic scent live up to the hype? You can actually see the detail of the razor it's so bright! That said, this is just a cool novelty feature, please don't attempt shaving in the dark.Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements (PAA) recently released Black Shroud, an homage to Faberge’s Woodhue, and Dean Martin’s favorite fragrance. El Fantasma glows like 5 green suns in fact. I knew if I was going to make a Glow product it was going to shine like the sun! After 5 different prototypes, I was satisfied. My only problem with them usually is the dim weakness of the glow. It's like they were made for another dimension yet here they are here in ours. Like most, I think Glow In The Dark products are just super cool, and they are also ultra retro sci-fi. While I absolutely love bakelite (it may be my spirit animal) ABS might just be the better option! But more importantly, It GLOWS!!!!Įl Fantasma is an homage to The Vintage, 1930s FASAN Double Slant Safety Razor! That's right, it's even more "twisted" than its bakelite brother! What could be more fitting when going for a spooky Halloween theme, right? Next, we opted to give ABS a go rather than bakelite this time around. The World's First Halloween Themed Razor!īOOM! Introducing El Fantasma, razor 1 in our Monster Slant Series! Yes, it is a slant razor and yes, it is an open comb.
