The Blue's soap is virtually unscented so ideal for scent spiking. Olbas Oil is quite high in Eucalyptus and Mint essential oils. About 4 drops in the lather bowl worked fine. It has a cooling effect and sure clears the sinuses.
My Rocnel technique improves with each shave. Rapidly becoming a favourite in my razor rotation.

Shave well!!!

Great shout with the Olbas oil, I'm on it next shave.

No offense taken BM...as I said, nothing was staged as I like to smoke the old churchwarden whilst shaving and I use the magnifying glass to make a close inspection of razor burn areas. I also wear a deerstalker hat whilst shaving as it keeps my ears warm! :D:D:D (OK, so I did stage it then...but you spelled 'meant' wrong in your last post...you really need to look into that spelling thing;))

I can see a new spelling app being downloaded as we speak.

Trac II ~ Vie Long White Fan ~ B&M Lavanille ~ Stirling Green

Am going to have to do some air travel soon, so have been experimenting a little with some vintage style carts and handles. I like this Aramis one quite a bit actually. Personna makes Trac II carts that sell for like 17 dollars for a hundred. Not the best shave I ever had by any means, but can get a nice DFS out of them.

For people who celebrate Thanksgiving, have a great one.

Razor...Gibbs number 17 (1954) adjustable set on N/3
Blade...Lodz Polsilver #1
Soap...P&B Baskerville
Brush ..Omega pure bristle
Post...Thayers Lavender AF
EDT...Tabac

My first use with the Gibbs , wow, what a razor. Paired with the Polsilver blade and on the setting of N. 3 it was very efficient and smooth, leaving me with a BBS finnish with zero irritation, very impressed with this old razor.
I will get back on to the Merkur pass-around razor tomorrow and have a shave off with my ATT S2 :)

Wishing you all well. Au Revoir.
