Greetings,
A neroli fragranced themed shave to start the weekend.The osp neroli soap i bought blind, going off the other osp soaps i've tried and the wonderful grapefruit & menthol cream performance, i'm so glad i did, equally superb to the others it provided me with a super protective lather throughout the shave leaving a excellent post shave feel.
The fragrance of the soap i describe, to my nose..which isn't the best, for describing a scent, is citrus, Bitter orange ,fresh floral,ideal for all the seasons of the year. I've mentioned before in my postings the scent of a shaving soap or cream isn't a great issue for me, the slickness glide, protection & post shave feel are,the OSP soaps and creams i've shaved with have all performed brilliantly.. Besides, once i've done my final cold water face rinse i find most of the lingering fragrance from a shaving soap or cream has virtually gone. However, with the OSP neroli soap, it has a lingering presence for sometime after.
I'm carrying on using blades, that i've infrequently used in my shaving den. The Supermax blue diamond titanium coated indian made DE blade which i haven't used for a while,I have used both the titanium and platinum coated a few times and have always had good results. Both blades are suprisingly smooth and efficient if i had to choose which is the better blade, i would say the Platinium is slightly more smoother,but only by a whisker.
A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a off with a few liberal squirts of Geoffrey Beene ~ Grey Flannel EDT to the pulse points.
My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
