SOTD : Saturday 06th March to Friday 12th March 2021



Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Pre: Pinaud shave oil
Soap: D R Harris Rose (from Newbie Box)
Brush: Omega 49
Razor: Parker 22R Interceptor
Blade: Dorco Prime Platinum (3)
Post: Witch Hazel, Real Shaving Co Balm

Time to delve into the Newbie box's treasures, and what a place to start. One of the biggest surprises for me is that I love the floral, sweet-scented soaps (except for patchouli ) I expected to be drawn to woody, smoky scents, but no - rose and the like is where it's at. Loved the feel of this, and the Parker/Dorco combo delivered again. No ASL used to let the rose scent permeate.
Three and out on the blade, and I'll see what lies within the blade box that looks tempting

So sorry to hear about your employment status. I hope things work out kind for you and better things around the corner.
 
Thank you that will be why I couldn’t find anything on it..it was the rose Thayers that made me question if the Bvlgari was rose scented too, will keep my eyes peeled have almost considered buying loccitane’s rose scented edt but it’s for women think it may be too sweet to pull off. Czech and speake no. 88 is on the cards me thinks...absolutely loving the straights you should give them a go it takes patience and some dedication but it’s certainly worth it and rewards you greatly
 
Something bigger and better is just around the corner, Barry !

Signature Soaps Danum asl

A wonderful shave this morning. My first use of the Signature Soaps soaps. The Danum was my blind pick, as I was not familiar with the scent of patchouli. I’m not sure about the scent yet, but the performance of this soap is second to none, even in my hard water. I used the sample of Danum after shave lotion that Brian had kindly included with my soaps, and it was very nice too. The patchouli scent was stronger in the aftershave, I think it’s a fresh, earthy scent, but my nose hasn’t been all that since Covid so don’t quote me.

Very enjoyable 3 passes. I like my slant razor and am intrigued as to others; i.e. RazoRock, Fatip and (especially) a vintage Hoffritz. But, I do wonder if there’s much difference between them all. RazoRock and Fatip have attracted slight criticism about quality; finish and, worryingly, a tendency towards cross threading. Any observations would be welcome.

 
ATT S1 is another slant that's worth a try
 
Hope something good crops up ASAP
