Result - top end.
I had been eagerly looking forward to using this soap - I missed the group buy - in fairness @Barry Giddens did flag it up to me - but I didn't check - went on holiday - and the deadline had passed. I was royally pissed when I found out it was based on the scent of 'Eau Sauvage' - one of my favourite fragrances - one that will never be absent from the den. So anyway - I put it down to experience - only to receive a pm from a fellow member - offering to pass on his soap and balm set - it was border line for his skin - a chance I jumped at. Using the tried and tested Wickham base - it is a tub of sunshine in soap form - given the blue skin and rickets - in Glasgow we quite often need artificial sources of light - a room filling scent. Bright and strong. It dovetailed beautifully with the Myrsol 'Limon' but - in my opinion - slightly better with the Wickham 'Citrus Musk' - finished off with the 'real thing.' I'm very fond of my citrus shaves - and 'Apricus' has gone way up in the rankings from the off. Excellent - I enjoyed using it very much - enjoy your shaves gentleman - yours - I.
Thank you to @RussellR5555 - you are a gentleman R. - who made these shaves happen. May - insert the deity of your choice - bless the TSR.
