It's actually called 'Acrobat' from an small artisan business called 'Origami'...(Thank goodness, methinks my secret is still safe)Anyone know where I can buy Cabat Lanigiro soap from? @Greybeard says it's ace..... View attachment 72770
C&S 88 ... hold that thought.
Yeah, Gothic Revival is a bang-on clone of Eucris. I deliberately did not use the Wickham aftershave with the Eucris cream.
Haha! Too right ...

* Not used this soap before but it certainly produced copious lather.
*Poking through the odds and sods box produced this marked Gillette England. Not sure if the head and handle are as is or a bastard pairing? It certainly performed well with the Gillette blade. Any thoughts as to its parentage? Thanks.

Inspired by the Gothic revival and Expressionism in here recently, I thought two of the ‘darker’ accoutrements might be worthy of an outing today.
The Highland Bothy is a cedary, Vetiver-esque number, with a lovely campfire smoke scent. It pairs very well with the tenebrous, eldritch qualities of the Eucris.
I’m now off to source a black cloak, with red velvet linings. If it weren’t for the travel restrictions, I’d also procure some empty boxes for my native soil.
Still to master climbing down my wall upside down, though.
