National Hugging Day
Rooney 1/1 Ivory Finest (22/45)
Czech & Speake Oxford and Cambridge shaving soap
Haircut & Shave P076-SB Copper/H&S Black
Wilkinson London Bridge (10)
English Leather aftershave (vintage)
At age almost 74, I know that I am slowly losing my sense of smell; but the scent of the C&S soap, which has been opened for only a few months and is kept in its wooden bowl in a closed drawer, has seemed particularly weak to me. So I asked my wife to compare its smell to those of a very old Crabtree & Evelyn Mysore Sandalwood and a 2-year-old Eufros Tobacco. To her 13-years-younger nose, the C&S was clearly the weakest, so apparently it isn't just my perception. Very disappointing. It did make excellent lather, the razor and blade did their job quite well, and the old aftershave was very nice.

Soap OSP Bayrum
Brush DS Cosmetics 26mm Badger
Razor Friedr Herder Abr. Sohn 77
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Very nice bayrum soap. Scent and lather qualities are great!
It's been almost 3 months since this razor was used. Wow...the shave felt very nice...the feedback was great! Razor's edge refreshed every use with pasted balsa strop and today it was keen yet comfortable. 3passes for a dfs/ccs finish. Not bad after more than 1 month of not using a true straight. Gotta be patient.

I’ve been eyeing this one Dave. How’s the scent and performance?
I don’t get much leather. I’d say it’s more like a warm almond
