I’m a fan of 1889 too. Though I have not smelled Jicky (1889 is a dupe), I suspect I would like it. While Jicky was introduced in 1889, the only downside to the name is that was also the year of Adolf Hitler’s birth.
No frag burn for me, but many years of alcohol splashes may have removed all sensitivity.

So there’s hope?
Starts an ethanol-based desensitisation therapy

I really enjoy the scent, too, but I get frag burn from the lather.

Thankfully it doesn’t burn me, but I definitely feel it. I’ve really only ever gotten frag burn from Crafter’s Choice and Ghost Town Barber

Ron says GTB is not the same as the infamous Crafters Choice Barbershop (I can’t remember the specific blend). GTB doesn’t burn me, Stirling Barbershop does (quite a bit), and I don’t recall if I’ve used anything with Crafters Choice…

I think that was you that was telling me about GTB in discord. I’d always thought it was a CC. I have some Fresh Cut Fade from 345, that’s CC, want a smush? For science
