Van Yulay (Monica Gillam) - Riding Rhonda

Thiers Issard 275 1196 Evide Sonnant Extra French Straight Razor | Carbon Steel | 6/8 Size | Extra Full Hollow Ground | Round Point | Ebony Wood Handle | Made in France

Tobin’s Throwbacks Edition Brush by Frank Shaving

From the Van Yulay website:

Top: Ruby red grapefruit, blood orange zest, faint pineapple
Middle: Neroli, bergamot, plumeria, soft talc
Bottom: teakwood, coconut, ambergris, musk

Step into a sun-soaked memory of WWII-era Hawaii—where polished boots meet ocean breeze, and the hum of clippers blends with distant waves. Riding Rhonda captures that moment: a classic barbershop experience infused with island warmth and vintage charm.
