Wonderful shave soap! Lovely scent, rich, creamy, and slick lather...love it! The brush is just awesomely & surprisingly soft!
A good shave with the razor paired with the blade. The blade is still smooth and comfortable enough. Uneventful in 3passes for a dfs+ finish. The aftershave seems to be a match for the soap...nice!

Post: Cold Water and NO Plunder

Decent smooth shave this morning, great scent on the plunder. First use with the oumo knot, I'd bought this and the AP to try in my WW handle, this one lost out so decided to throw it in one of my spare ferules. A little bit of backbone, very cushioned feel and didn't seem to want to release the lather. I'll reserve judgement until I have had a lot of use under the belt.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

How much money would I have saved if I'd gone off down the cheap cream rabbit hole:unsure: I'm sure something else would have popped up to divest me of my money:rolleyes: Gotta be honest, there's a thrill in discovering a brilliant bargain, and both the cream and ASL fit that remit. Have a great week, everyone :D

@Digimonkey , what do you think of TDS Sandalwood?

So far so good P. - I had tried the Semyonich before and was impressed by it. I think the soap base in the samples you sent is much the same, so that bodes well. I'll try the TDS soap for a while, give it a fair run. The menthol smells lethal. :) Jar of Vicks anyone? Cheers - I.
