Couple of things from the Czech & Speake sale and a bowl from Connaughts for the soap View attachment 115834
I thought it had been discontinued.Ooh! Good call! Just bagged a No.88 soap as well ... years since I used that soap.
I've come across negative feedback regarding the C&S soap after the Valobra era, so I'm eager to know about its performance. Oxford and Cambridge remains one of my all-time favorite scents, and I have an unused and unboxed puck in my collection. I'm curious if they have any plans to create cream versions of their scents, similar to the tubs offered by Trumper and other brands.

I've been wanting a Bay Rum of the British triple-milled type for some time, but could never bring myself to purchase from a company with such a proposterous named as Captain Fawcett ... well, I suppose it has a slightly better ring than Seaman Sink!
I know @Satanfriendly periodically raves about this stuff and it is practically the same formulation as DR Harris ... and so I relented. Scent is olive, fig and bay, and I like it! It's slight, it's subtle, it's everything the scent in a shaving soap should be rather than the usual dump of cloying yuck that normally goes into scented candles. Yeah! Test lather proved it will be highly enjoyable.
I found a suitable rosewood bowl to pop it into and it fit perfectly. Again, can't quite bring myself to buy into their branded bowls, what with that silly name emblazened upon the lid. I've repurposed the bowl from the Dalit Sandalwood soap, which isn't right cracking as a soap but I'm glad I made the purchase which goes to supporting that cause: https://www.dalit.co.uk/ < looking again, I don't think they do the rosewood bowl any more, but the soap can be cut 2 parts to 1 part known good soap and generate a sound lather while retaining the honest sandalwood and neeam scent.
Another brand I have not heard of before. Sounds intriguing - off for a mooch!Name and branding aside I enjoy their fragrances. I got a sample set of half a dozen scent for Xmas and like all of them; one I already have and two are on my 'to buy' list.
