SOTD : Saturday 10th October to Friday 16th October 2020.

How was the Soap Paul ?


Hi Russ

Sorry, lazy SOTD without a description . . .

The soap performed faultlessly - It lathered almost instantaneously, and glide and slickness were really quite good.

I'm guessing it's likely to contain tallow - given that it's probably 20 or so years old?
Scent wise - it smells like a plain hand soap from years ago, but that's not important with a soap of this kind I guess.
At around £8 including postage, I'm not at all disappointed - the bowl alone has to be worth the price imo.
 
Today's shave took the theme 'A red star shave'

Товарищ тазор - Stainless General V2
Борис клинок - Feather Super Professional
Большая кисть-монстр - Silver Birch 30mm Cashmere
Кровавое кубинское мыло - The Bath House Cuban Cedar and Lime soap
Западный запах - The Bath House Cuban Cedar and Lime EDC

I just hope Google translate did a good job here. Knowing my luck it probably reads as something to do with sexually assaulting Teddy bears or 'my mother wore open toed combat boots'

Feeling a little more 'with it' now that most is out of the way for my father's operation and he seems more settled. At least he is very accepting of everything.

My shave

A first time out with the new Bath House soap and very nice indeed. Vegetable based (no carrots or cabages included) and leathers up very quickly with a slightly damp brush. In this case my brush of the moment, the most wonderful Steve Jagger creation. The scent is right there and very complementary to their matching EDC. Ticks all the right boxes and does exactly what a soap should do. Very nicely presented to boot. A highly recommended soap by my meagre and pathetic standards. But leaning slightly to the left I do believe in equality for the people and I take that a step further by including products. Everything that passes by me is great.


'I love you and I love The Bath House for using our glorious Cuban Cedar. Is better than the Western Cedar. Smell better and better for shaving. Not I know anyfuckingthing shaving'

The General V2? I am sure Castro would have approved of the name. A razor it is impossible to do anything wrong with and a razor which simply delivers the smoothest of shaves time after time.

A grin inducing super shave and the ladies donned their psychic headwear in a hope of attracting my attention


Have a most beautiful day everyone and I wish you all the best of health

And I also wish upon you those wonderful Japanese ladies 'Otoboke Beaver'
