@Ids1984 - The Hermes Eau D'Orange Verte edt is one of my favourite scents. It dovetails beautifully with OSP Orange and Patchouli soap in my experience. cheers - I.

Scent is very subjective - the Hermes is a sharp - green - orange for me - Seville oranges - not sweet, like neroli. There is a lot of patchouli in the base of the Hermes. Although you can't detect the orange - nice all the same? I.

Yes I do like it.

Just tried the tres fresh and that's a lot more orangy to me, unfortunately not been able to get any samples.

Bugger. It's like Creed - it's so expensive they charge for the samples. I.

been given plenty of the original, in both edt and perfume.

The tres fresh was initially nice but is fading quick, but I'll give the samples a run out.

The eau d'oranges wasn't quite to my taste.

A fun journey.

Colourful today, I really love this soap. The scent is just divine and the performance top notch. I like this brush but need to take some time to dial it in, superb shave with the Calypso the Ladas works well with it, a single nick due to inattention. Enjoy your weekend chaps.

Razor: Gillette Fat Boy (On Loan)
Blade: Astra SP #2
Brush: Hans Baier Silvertip 20mm
Soap: NSS, Moroccan Sands
Post: Aloe Vera 100% Gel
Splash: DR Harris Arlington
Cologne: DR Harris Arlington

A late night ( Early morning shave before bed this evening but I want to feel fresh.)
The on loan Gillette is proving to be a favourite of mine. Tonight I dialled the razor to #5 for a 2 pass shave.
Having used this razor yesterday and in all honesty I did not have much to contend with but we all know if we can get a shave in we will. I only needed a 2 pass to bring me back to at least DBS.

I am a big fan of the Nannies Silly Soap and my first time using the "Moroccan Sands" was a pleasure. As always a lovely slick, creamy lather with superb post shave qualities. I may even suggest the scent is better than the Lemon, Basil & Mandarin.

Another first with Hans Baier Silvertip. A brush with a little scritch but a lovely back bone. Worked perfectly for face lathering with the rather small tin of the NSS. Thank you @Aaron1983

Finishing with a gorgeous, fresh lemon filled scent I am ready for bed and the morning.

Good night everyone and have a lovely weekend.
Wayne.

Nice picture!....Classy!!

Prep.....Shower~ Olive oil soap
Razor....Valet Auto-Strop
Blade....Valet
Soap....La Savonniere du Moulin
Brush....Semouge OC badger
Post....BBA PS Balm
Scent....Yardley 1770

My first use of this interesting razor and I found it to be smooth and effective, the soap is outstanding with its creamy lather, all in all a very enjoyable shave.

Wishing you all a relaxing weekend......

I bought a Valet about a year ago. I need to clean it up and give it a try. I've been holding off thinking it would be a little aggressive, but sounds like it might not be!

No not at all, a very nice shave indeed, just make sure the blade you are going to use is up to scratch. I look forward to seeing it in your SOTD sometime soon
