I am really enjoying the Tcheon Fung Sing Ciotola Rossa Soap , for a soap that cost £ 4-50 it bursts into life and produces a nice lather , it seems to suit my skin also. I got another soap from there higher range which I am looking forward to trying.

Next time you're one on of the shop sites Russ, give the Rasozero range a try. I think you'll also like those.

I did look at the Tobacco one when I did a Connaught order but they only had in by the KG , but I have since seen small tubs so will give one a try at some point, I know people get sick of Almond Soaps but this is the first one I had and am enjoying the scent.

Saponificio Varesino Tundra Artica is my favourite scented soap ( SV is my favourite soap base full stop).
I've spent years looking for a matching fragrance. Some months ago I finally found a match. It's Acqua Di Parma Ambra. It's not cheap but very close to Tundra Artica. I only have a decant at the moment but in the future I will buy a full bottle.

Thank you R. - good to hear from you and cheers for the heads up - I have the 'Leather' variety in the same range - which I really like - as you say - it isn't cheap - but good scent generally costs. If anyone was going to solve the riddle of 'Tundra Artica' it was going to be you! Take care - cheers - I.

Pre: Hot Shower
Soap: Ariana & Evans Kaizen
Razor: Executive Shaving The Outlaw Razor
Blade: King C.Gillette (2)
Brush: Kevy Shaves 24mm Tuxedo
Post: Cold Scottish Water Rinse
A/S: Brut Sport Style
Balm: L'oreal Birch Sap

Trying out the Outlaw razor from Executive Shaving. Very smooth, great weight and fantastic knurling on the handle. Paired it with one of the new King C. Gillette blades and it felt as smooth as butter. Practically BBS with two passes and some pickups with this razor, with one or two small weepers on the neck area. That's not to say it's aggressive, just really efficient and feels great to use. The Kaizen soap from A&E is the new benchmark now for soap bases.​
