Karve Overlander alu
Gillette Aussie Spoiler (4)
Frank Shaving two-band
LPL Apricot
warm water, witch hazel
LPL Apricot a/s.

Total shit - entirely due to the soap. It will not form a stable lather and that was its last chance. Destined for bath soap and reuse the tin for something that actually works. An expensive mistake I shall not make again. Cheers - I.
 
Their Cologne Fouger'e is the same, Iain.
It is as you say, an expensive mistake/bath soap

Not just me then mate? I see people using LPL commonly and they don't seem to have an issue. Maybe I got a bad batch? Shame, it smells great. Oh well - I was going to offer it to you to see if you could do any better with it but it sounds like you have already found out for yourself?

- I.
 
Nice of you to think of me, mate.

The one I have has a nice scent too.
I have only once got a (half) decent lather from it, and it took an age to whip it up.
It seems to like lots of water adding when the proto lather has started to thicken up a bit.
Sod it - I'll give it a spin tonight to see if I can get it to perform !
 
I have a few of them and I am afraid that I think they are BRUSH specific. Low density and high loft. I am sure Iain will understand when I say.....Scots heritage so I am a tight bastard and absolutely need some way to use it!

Old Spice Homage Shave 2

Again for me Brian has the knack of producing top drawer soaps & this one is no different.
At first i was a bit confused with the scent but once i got in to it i found it superb.
I reckon it’s difficult for a lot of manufacturers to replicate Old Spice but some get it spot on although some are a particular artisans take on it therefore not to similar.
This one for me is bang on with the modern citrus & cinnamon twist which is prevalent throughout.
A clear modern classic.
For me Old Spice is not all that, it’s not the holy grail so the modern takes on it these days are a true inspiration. Having said that i’ll be devastated if i ever run out of the original but i doubt that will happen in my lifetime.
Again another enjoyable shave with the Occam’s.
i might even use it for the rest of the week but knowing me i might get bored with that one lol.
Onwards & Upwards
I’m now looking forward to day 3
