Top notes: Bergamot, Citrus, Neroli
Middle notes: Rose, Carnation, Iris, Cedar, Jasmin, Ylang-Ylang
Bottom notes: Amber, Leather, Musk, Tobacco, Birch, Vetiver, Vanilla
Our homage to Cuir de Russie is based on the more recent EDP version, as opposed to the original 1927 formula. To my nose, the powdery, talc opening is toned down a bit while the tobacco & leather notes have been turned up a notch. When I first started this project, years ago now, I was not as singularly focused on discontinued scents as I became, which turned this endeavor into a much more challenging one. However, this scent, Chanel Cuir de Russie, was the fragrance that served as my inspiration to create the Continuum Collection and it is well worth sharing as our first in the series.

Today I really noticed your nice light touch with the razor. I too enjoy the Ascention.
It takes practice, but a light touch is key 👍💈
Really nice brush and scent.💈💈💈 Hope to see a video on your new brush soon. Cheers Ken stay safe 🙂
Thanks 👍💈💈
They make great shave soaps and aftershave/colognes the scent lasts
👍💈💈
top video Ken👍
Thanks 👍💈👍
Nice shave, Ken, thank you. I have the Ascension Select and I'd agree that it can be a daily driver, but with a caveat. It's a twist adjustable razor without any demarcations for how you've dialed it in. You adjust it with the whole handle as you tighten it down over the blade, so fully tight is the least aggressive setting. Also, as you back it off from fully tight, it gets more aggressive rather quickly (not even a full turn), so for those (like me) who have more sensitive skin, you have to be aware. I also find, as you mentioned, that you need to use an extra bit of caution as you shave to avoid weepers. Having said all that, I really like the results I get with it and it is not difficult to get a close, irritation-free shave (so sayeth the alum block). Thanks again and cheers.
Excellent point 👍💈💈💈
Miss you Ken, thanks for the video❤
💈👍👍
Thks Ken❤
💈👍👍👍
Great review Ken 😊
Jon
Thanks 👍💈👍
Great shave Ken. I have seen these CK6 on a few English shaving websites but i haven't got round to getting any yet. With me, i like to use up one thing at a time. I'm on my last soap of Edwin Jagger, (Aloe Vera) scent. I surprised you haven't tried these Yorkshire soaps of edwin Jagger? I once put a review on their website stating, your Soaps are the best for someone who is going towards traditional wet shaving from those shaving cans gels etc.
👍👍💈💈💈💈
Nice shave Ken
👍💈
That soap sounds great, I need to get some more within the next month and might give that a shot!
You're going to love it! 👍💈
@ You sold me on it!!
Hi Ken, I have the stainless steel as well as the copper. Love them both!
Right on👍💈💈
Nice shave and review. Next time you use the Ascension you need to try the twist adjustability. Maybe you have and I missed that video? I've been tempted to get that razor but I've weaned myself from going down the rabbit hole 😉
👍💈💈
Is PAA coming out with another camp phoenix soap. I just missed my opportunity to get it last time
I have it lol mistake getting it lol smells just like a campfire lol
💈👍👍
Great shave. Not really much to say, but as always, have a good one!
Thanks, you too!💈👍👍👍💈
Ken I'm having trouble tracking down that exact FS brush because I love the colorway, I didn't see it on their website. Do you or anyone have the link? Love your content!
I just asked Frank if he has a direct link. He only gave me the website link.
Saw the trailer for the new Jurassic World movie yesterday. I’ll check that out.
💈👍👍
I don’t see the soap or aftershave on his site .
Might release this week. Was the razor still in stock?
When will your new brush going to be available Ken?
The prototypes just made it into the USA. I should have them in a few days. Then they should go online.
@@kensurfslooking forward to getting one!
That brush isn’t on his website .
I have the three originals, Nickle DOC, the Ascension CNC Stainless Steel version, then a Cu(copper)CNC version. A bunch of versions were made like the Select. Great shavers all, the Cu is real heavy FYI. Nice shave and results Ken, too bad no big burn though...😒
👍👍💈💈💈
The Ascension razor is on my list to buy from PAA. Would you say it is more aggressive than a Muhle R41? I am hoping it is.
It seems smoother
@@kensurfs Thanks. Even with a fresh Feather blade, the R41 tugs (painfully) if I haven’t shaved in 4 or 5 days.
As i´m watching its Thursday , great shaving video as always i can´t speak french as well so i pronounce it as i read it or use google translate you can use it to hear how you say the words, stay safe, cheers...Peter
Thank Peter💈👍👍
Nice razor 🪒
Thx👍💈
dont you find a wet brush makes for a sloppy result?
It’s a fine balance 👍💈💈
Nice razor
But I’ll stick to my standard R41 with black detailing with a feather blade 3 passes I’m going good
Sounds great! 👍💈
Great shave Ken. Lots of goodies coming out soon. There's one I can't talk about but I was told that the release is slated for May or June. Plus this week made 11 years of wet shaving for me. I have anniversary shave video going up here soon.
Congrats on 11 years of wet shaving! 👍💈
Cuir De Russie= russian leather
