SOTD : Saturday 12th May - Friday 18th May 2018.

Wonderful BBS shave. I love the OSP Bay Rum and it's a shame it's no longer available. As a soap man the cream has a fantastic performance with this 30 mm brush. 5 day growth sorted in 2 passes with the Rocca and Gillette silver blue.

Very good performance of the GospodAn, a local Croatian artisan lady. The scent of pure pachuli is not for me, that's the only reason I don't use it more often.
Superb post shave feeling thanks to Fine.

Greetings

Thursday 17th May 2018
Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM OCMM
Blade: PAL Super Carbon
Brush: AP Shave Co. SynBad 24mm
Cream: Gentleman's Face Care Club Caribbean Lime
Aftershave: Astral Cream (soft)
EDT: Penhaligon's Luna

I am really warming to this SynBad knot, at first I found it a little stiff but now less so, probably because I am getting used to it. I still think I prefer the Cashmere knot from the same company but this for me is definitely better than their Tuxedo knot as it splays easier.

This is the last of the ten Pehaligon's testers purchased by my daughter and this fragrance is really superb, it is spring/summery and perfectly suitable (ideal in fact) for day or office wear. It has a zesty dry spicy citrus tang to it, not a hint of sweetness to my nose, it is listed as a unisex fragrance and it is my daughters out and out favourite of the ten (but she is not keen on Ouds) I put this on just before 0700hrs this morning and I can still smell it, which I feel is exceptionally good for an EDT and a summery citrus scent.

This seems to me one of those fragrances that would be liked by 95% of those who tried it, no Marmite here! IMHO a very safe blind buy for anyone.

Regards
Dick.

'Creed' inspired shave this evening....
Pre: L'oreal Face, Body & Hair Wash
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Sagrada Familia Synthetic
Soap: Razorock 'Emperor'
Razor: EJ89 Lined Handle
Blade: Nacet (4)
Post: Cold water rinse, Thayers unscented Witch hazel
AS: Fine Platinum

Hadn't used the emperor yet... had read some less than impressive reviews (after having bought it!) so wanted to try it out. It lathered up very well, and did feel fairly slick. Not the best I've experienced, and it felt like it reacted with my face a bit too. I was most underwhelmed by the fragrance of the soap which didn't last very long and ended up smelling more like clean soap than creed....... at least I can say I've tried it!
However, Fine made up for it and made me smelling good for dinner down the pub. My friend even commented that I smelled nice!

Have a great evening all
