S.O.T.D. Saturday 7th May 2016 to Friday 13th May 2016

Thur 12th May
Omega 11126 Boar
OSP bay rum
Rocnel S/S single side Razor
1/2 Personna Lab Blue
Alum Rub/Rinse Off
Aqua Velva A/S

Tentative shave with this , rather heavy at first but got easier. Achieved very good close shave, with no problems
of irritation /nicks etc. Report under Rocnel Review.

 
It's always a kick to see Aqua Velva on SOTD. My father used it religiously in the 50's and 60's.
 
First use of two items today. OSP & Feather.

Myrsol Emulsion.
Simpsons Duke 3 Best.
OSP Neroli.
ATT M1.
Feather.
Lab Series balm.

Loved the Feather. In a mild razor it worked well. I'll see how it lasts because apparently they drop off a cliff. My usual blade is a Polsilver which I love.
The OSP was lovely & I am a Neroli convert. Anybody know what Colognes are Neroli based ?

Hi @Jel999 - Mugler Cologne from Thierry Mugler is one of the best Neroli based scents out there. Very similar to Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford & Original Vetiver by Creed but a much cheaper price!

I would describe it as a clean, soapy green fresh scent. Performance on my skin is excellent for a citrus-based fragrance. This for me is a perfect spring & summer fragrance! Highly recommended. I know @Scuba Steve just got a bottle as well.

Some others I've tested recently & really enjoyed were Grand Neroli from Atelier Cologne & Vert & Bigarade from L'Occitane!
