After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch rebranded Simpsons best
'Webly'/Super Iridium
Woods of Windsor SS (old tallow version compliments of Slimbo)
Myrsol Emulsion
Malizia 'Vetyver' EdT

Second time using this soap, and it's a nice product. This was sent to me by Slikki (thanks buddy), and is the older one before the reformulation.

The cushion and slip are both certainly better than usual and the scent is a light one that I kinda enjoy. Post shave skin care is quite nice. I'd been reading about this stuff for a while now and I'm happy to have this vintage product in the arsenal.

BBS results,

Martin

The Terre D'Hermes really is nice isn't it? I was very surprised how long the scent lasts, one small squirt in the morning and I can still smell it in the evening. I don't think I have ever used a scent with such staying power.

Not getting on with the Black Beauty, had a few below-par shaves with it - don't know why.
Mountains of luxurious soap from Wickham's - what an excellent soap this is.
