I must first say thank you to
@Pontormo for gifting me another puck of Czech & Speake shave soap, this time I was sent the Oxford and Cambridge travel puck to try before I buy!
The scent of this soap is IMO a 5 on a 1-10 scent scale, it opens up with a fresh lavender topped with peppermint, Rosemary and Bergamot gradually giving way to a subtle base of warm oak moss, it really is a classic and sophisticated scent.
It was whipped into a creamy lather that offered slick protection that you would expect from a soap made for C&S by Valobra.
My Feather WS-D1 fitted with a Feather blade made short work of two days growth and left me with baby soft skin, a splash of Thayers astringent as an aftershave and a few sprays of my fortified Fine Lavender aftershave which is now more of an EdT with the extra essential oils I added, is it a dead ringer for C&S Cologne.........I don't know, I've not yet had the pleasure but I think It could be somewhere close!
A very enjoyable shave and I'm pleased to have tried the Czech and Speake O&C shave soap, a very good soap indeed.
Untill the next time, be safe, be cool
Paul.
