Theme Thursday - Discovering the secret scents of Istanbul - 29 May 2025
- Brush: Zenith - 506 N XS (extra soft horse)
- Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
- Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia – Verbena Toscana
- Post Shave: №4711 – Echt Kölnisch Wasser
- Fragrance: Atelier Rebul – Istanbul
Today’s theme is perfectly fitting for this warm sunny day. Verbena Toscana is bright orange citrus with vervein and an absolute summer favourite of mine. Kölnisch Wasser is at the origins of Kolonya.
AR Istanbul isn’t technically on theme, being a warm spicy scent, but hey, it’s right there in the name.

Do you use 4711 as a post-shave splash?
I bought a bottle recently and have been wondering whether it’d be a better fit as a frag or post. The scent definitely doesn’t last very long.

This one is the splash version of 4711, it last even less long than the cologne :)
