SOTD : Saturday 11 September to Friday 17 September 2021.

Thanks as always, Tony. I had an interesting review this week of Leodis by YouTuber @IAMCDB who liked the fragrance but went on and on about dents in the tin that supposedly happened in transit (not shipped by me but was sent out to him in perfect condition). It clearly doesn’t occur to him that he could use a Pater Peperium relish pot to nicely present soap in a SOTD. Regards Brian

My shave from earlier today mirrored yesterday’s but t’was rather good:

Gillette Aristocrat Jnr, Lab Blue
Vintage Rooney Butterscotch Keyhole
Palmolive Stick
Paul Smith Extreme AS
Drop of Comfrey Oil


And it’ll be the same tomorrow as I’m still at my folks having a good laugh and reminiscing with my dear old Granny. What a gal!

I shan’t post here tomorrow but Friday’s will be different and I’ll try for a photo again.

Thanks chaps and may you all be blessed with health, wealth and happiness.

Really wonderful scent from this soap. The lather was as creamy and slick as can be...
This razor was back from freshly honed on Ozuku and the edge is ooohhh soooo nice, so smooth and comfortable.
3passes for a mixed dfs, ccs to sas result with any issues. The challenge area for technique improvement remains under the jaw and neck. Aftershaves are just wonderful as well...nice and cool!!
