That sounds like a soap I could blind buy with confidence.

And I quote...With a wonderful mixture of citrus, vanilla, sandalwood, and lily of the valley, this scent is a great balance of freshness and musk. I smell coconut in there...maybe one too many cocktails down in the Caribbean are clouding my nose! I love this scent!

Boss knot is a favourite for sure...soft but more scrub in it. The handle is beautiful and really the pic does not do it justice. I have another of his also with a 26mm Tux in it. Called the Elway. Derek is a class act and what has happened to him a true tragedy. He is in Arizona.
 
Good Friday and Goodwill to all! Today’s razor the Gillette Goodwill #160 set. I picked this up awhile back complete in the box with instructions etc. The razor presents as new with no cracks in the handle and only minor plate loss on the top cap in two small spots. The lacquered gold wash is in exceptionally good shape. Loaded up with a Kai SS.

Wanted a clean scent today and B&M Seville fit the bill perfectly. I love this scent and it is so beak-jamming-in-tub worthy! Love it!

This razor is so good! Smooth as can be but with just a bit more blade feel than my Gillette New LC. This is a great razor! Three pass BBS shave. Not bad for a maiden voyage! Topped off with the matching AS and some Acqua di Parma Colonia. Hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend. Stay safe.

It was Sam! I have been waiting to break this one out for a bit but every time I take it out of the box...I put it back right back! :p Oh well someone took care of it for for almost 90 years might as well enjoy it now.
 
Seville is one of my all time favorite scents. Partly because it was one of the first artisan soaps I ever ordered, but mostly because it is just awesome.
 
This will be a quick one! Wonderful Easter Sunday shave filled with nice stuff. What is most important is that everyone is safe and in contact with your neighbours and family.

Please enjoy the time with your immediate family. For those out working because you need to be, thank you for what you do and please stay safe.

Take care, God Bless.
