I have always enjoyed a neroli scented soap, think a more subtle, naturally scented Arko, the 1912 Citrus Musk is up there, very sinilar to OSP's Neroli, which is just about spot on.
The twin injector blade in the Type L is really working for me, giving very smooth, very close shaves.
Out to the theatre tonight to see Carmen, written by a Frenchman and sung in French but set in Spain - go figure.
Enjoy your day all.
@Mark12 - Irish Fern Update:-
I am not very good at scent descriptions but i find the Irish fern a very light natural scented soap like freshly crushed ferns but with a sweetness to it. If that makes sense.

my sister bought me some Australian snail mucin moisturiser and i loved it but it was expensive. I've tried Cosrx Advanced before and it is excellent too. Not sure iof you're in the UK but it's currently £13 at the South American river place for 100ml. Nearly ½ price.

Thought I'd play it safe & go back to the Natu for my noggin, although with the collection of razors I have it would be nice to feel comfortable using them on my head :ROFLMAO:
The Zenith horse seemed to hog the lather from the Derby so not sure what was going on, had to reload the brush for multiple passes.
The Bulldog balm is a new addition, cheap & seems fine - unscented so did have a splash of Benjamin's Mentholated (y)

Pre shave: Hot shower and Neutrogena glycerin soap bar
Razor: 1956 Gillette flare tip super speed
Blade: Feather (4)
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Bluish Violet synthetic
Bowl: Captains choice copper
Soap: Noble Otter Rainroot
Post shave: Noble Otter Rainroot aftershave splash

A nice shave with the amazing scent of Rainroot on a suitably rainy day.

I somehow managed to get a nice deep, papercut thin slice right on the pad of my thumb earlier today which made using the razor effectively a bit of a challenge, and threw my technique off quite a bit, but I got there eventually.. and carefully.
It was probably just as well I went with the foolproof super speed and not something more aggressive.

Noble Otters Rainroot whipped up to a beautifully slick lather and made for a very pleasant experience in spite of the aforementioned challenge.

I finished off with the matching splash which instantly did the job of soothing and cooling the skin.
This is one scent I just cant get over and of the ones in my rotation which I look forward to using the most.
They've hit on something magic here.

Hope you're all having a good week so far!
