Although not all the items are from that time, all were produced at that time. The razor is period authentic, and the brush is the type used in 1900-1910. As to the soap it is from about 1930 but, again was made in the time frame that this shave, and video represents. During my research it was nice to discover that "Lilas de France" was made and later the name was chenged to "Lilac Vegetal" IMHO they should have kept the original French name, LOL. The shave mug is period authentic.

I had not used it for a long time, as was concerned that the Goddess of the Green had forsaken me, and I would not still be chosen, not remain as a Knight of the Veg Table. Thankfully she looked kindly on me, and the Queen of Avocados still approves, and actually likes it. The Colgate Soap was the HUGE winner here One of the nicest Vintage soaps I have ever shaved with. (Sorry @Luecke3262 @Spider ) It blows even the tallow Williams right out of the water. Stupendous and would give a run to even the high end moderns soaps of the day including SV and PcN.

3 passes and just perfectly DSBBS

Hope everyone is having a Marverlous Monday

Stupendous as a doorstop?

 
I have one puck of Colgate shave soap and I guess I may need to break it out and see if you're exaggerating or not.

It is here! And it is wonderful! Take the Original Hombres, remove the Blood Orange, and Jalapeño flower, and replace with all the Fragrance notes of Aqua di Parma and you have Hombres Dos Spaghetti Western.

This so a non tallow version, of course made for the shop by CBL. It rivals Orion in performance. And destroys all other soaps in residual slickness. Literal heaven, and exactly what I wanted for the shop and my Brand. An homage to the Spaghetti Westerns made famous by Clint Eastwood, and his silhouette from Fistful of Dollars adorns the label.

3-passes with the Black Beauty, and thinking of Ed (RIP). DSBBS and the aftershave, also used as a frag, is super strong even 4 hour later

This soap will be available for pickup in the shop and through @CBLSoap.com on or
After the 15th of August. It is a limited run as well. I hope you will like. As it does capture the Old West and that era of the Spaghetti Western. If GTB was Johnny Ringo, then Soap/Aftershave is Doc Holliday…… we know how that ended up for Ringo LOL

Have a Great Thursday folks
