What's the Apricus like @Nearsmooth ?

Thanks for asking @Scotshave. It's a Wickham soap, so for me it works really well with any brush producing a very good lather without a lot of effort (I generally face lather). The scent is very pleasant but not strong and slightly hard to describe, a mixture of citrus fruits and floral notes, I think. Definitely not a Citrus Musk. I hope that helps.

I'd agree with your comments about Apricus - usual excellent Wickham soap base - @Scotshave - if you like Eau Sauvage - you will like this. The balm is good too. Cheers - I.

Hi Barry,
Have been looking at some of the Pictures in the background of your SOTD. Noted your proximity to the Capital, you have not by any chance been "Borrowing " some originals from the Art Galleries nearby ;):(
Have a good Weekend- Mike

Mongoose B3
Feather Pro [ 7 ]
Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion

The Mongoose really is a superb Razor provided that you do not rush. Needed a good Shave today as travelling to Hampshire and attending a Reunion Dinner, so wanted a long lasting shave without the need for a touch up. With a light touch the Mongoose can be used with precision to eliminate all stubborn areas of growth. Extremely pleased with the results, will get away with a quick buzz of an electric Razor and no need for a second wet Shave.

The last of my Vintage lady week today with the 1924 shovel head and what an enjoyable week it has been :love:.
These vintage razors make me wonder why they are not still made today, they give a fantastic enjoyable shave, even for a relative novice.
I remember my 1st shave with an ER and how apprehensive i was, no need really as long as you take your time until your confidence builds.kar.gif
I can totally recommend every shaver tries one of these razors at least once.
Next week will be an AC razor training week with the Feather SS Kamisori and Feather AC DX and i am looking forward to it,
although my chin may not bea15.gif:eek:

Have a great day All ;).
