Going to miss this one, fantastic stuff.
 
Hi, I wondered what fitjar is like. I see Executive shaving has a limited edition one which is extra strong in the menthol. Seems they use lovely ingredients.Roy

I really enjoyed Fitjar, this was a Secret Santa gift 2016. It lathered up a treat and had a nice scent to it. The scent was subtle and I could pick up the lavender. It is one I will be revisiting sometime.

At the moment I've too many soaps on the go. With a trip to America this summer I'll be bringing back some soaps from there too.

Polished off both the P&B Solaris and Old Spice Whitewater, a very nice aquatic aftershave, must have been using it sporadically for a good 3 years. Likewise the P&B has been in use for the past 2 years. I will eventually replace it with some Albion.
 
Thayer's Witch Hazel - Rose flavour

It's lasted a long time but it's finally over. Thayer's is, in my opinion, the best witch hazel for the main reason that it doesn't smell a bit like a toilet like plain witch hazel does.

I'm not as keen on the rose scent as I thought I would be. The best flavour I've tried is the cucumber - nicely fresh which is just what you need after a shave.

Would I buy it again? Yes, but I'll choose cucumber next time.

Nanny's Silly Soap - Cedarwood and Vetyver Hard Shaving Soap - Vegan

Bought this back in 2013 and finally used it up.

NSS doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves for a great British soap and it one of my favourite brands. This was my one and only NSS hard soap and is more difficult to lather than her other tallow soaps. I've found I can only get a good lather with a synthetic brush and I need to load the soap well. However, doing this results in a great lather, refreshing scent and lovely skin conditioning afterwards.
The SS tin was bought separately and is a great size for loading a brush and will be refilled.

Would I buy it again? Well, not this type of soap, I much prefer NSS's "Traditional" range of shaving soaps which contain tallow with which I've had no issues at all. The scent is wonderful though. I still have some NSS soaps left to use but when they're finished I will be replacing them.

Over the last two days scraped the dregs from a jar of Edwin Jagger Cooling Menthol and got to the bottom of 150ml of Gentlemen's Tonic Cream.

Fortunately I have another jar of GT on the shelf as personally I love and rate this cream. If it wasn't for OSP I'd have a cabinet dedicated to the stuff.

The EJ was okayish but nothing to write home about. No dedicated cabinet
