Great scent al. Strong - thick and dark. I always described it as the lowest and most damp part of the ship. Where they keep all the tobacco and rum. Soon as it hit my nose that’s what my brain pictured. I’ve acquired a brass razor this week which I’ll feature on my next shave.Friday 5 April
I love the Lambda Athena, but as I opined yesterday it probably doesn’t shave any better than my old Gillette razors. But boy what an amazingly beautiful looking piece of equipment and the wooden case just rounds off the overall effect of a classic piece of Greek sculpture. Plus I do love brass razors, much more tactile than Stainless or Aluminium.
Los Jabones de Joserra Blas de Lezo, one of three just received from @CunningMrFox and like yesterday’s Red Note does not disappoint. Its creamy but does need a fair amount of water to keep its lather but I’m not one to want and inch thick of foam all over my fizog so not really an issue.
Blas de Lezo was one of the most important Spanish military sailors. Hence has a very masculine fragrance as befits the character. Oak wood and smoke, tobacco, leather and liquor. Victoria perfume. Its ingredients include Vegetable stearin. Beef tallow. Shea butter. Glycerin. Kokum butter. Jojoba oil. Coconut oil. Castor oil. Refined duck fat. Argan oil. Apricot Kernel Oil. Camellia oil. Lanolin. Premium fragrance. Rhassoul. Water. Sodium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide.
The refined Duck fat caught my attention, really quack quack,
Enjoy POETS day fellas!

Spot on with the description J,Great scent al. Strong - thick and dark. I always described it as the lowest and most damp part of the ship. Where they keep all the tobacco and rum.

It has an anchor on the handle ( that’s your clue ). Top notch as always my mate. J.
Spot on Al. In my opinion the best one Brian made - * everyday plate * with anchor handle …. It’s a beauty. Got the metal tin and beer mat with it un allspot on with the description J,
