The Cajun Blade - Wid’s Tropical Coconut Lime
Brush by Chisel & Hound
Naked Armor Light Brown Priamus Safety Razor Wood Finish Resin Zinc Aluminum
The Naked Armor Razor was sent to me for by Naked Armor for review on my YouTube channel (The Luxury Shaving Hobbyist). Review will be posted in the next day are two.
From The Cajun Blade Store website:
A Tropical Barbershop Twist
By now, y'all know the story behind my collaborations with Wid's Soaps. Well, this one was Rick's idea for our second collab, and I thought it was too good to pass up.
Like Cherry Almond, this one has a wearable barbershop twist. It's not a true gourmand, but a clean coconut lime fragrance with a classic barbershop character. Fresh coconut and bright lime take the lead, balanced with just enough warmth to keep it smooth, masculine, and easy to wear year-round.
Sometimes the simplest ideas turn out to be the best ones. We wanted something that was bright, clean, and different from the typical sweet tropical scents on the market, while still feeling right at home in a traditional wet shaving den.
We think we accomplished exactly that, and we hope y'all enjoy this second collaboration as much as we enjoyed bringing it to life.
