Saturday P076

Last night I got in a tub of last year's Grooming Dept 'Soap' release. This one is supposed to have notes of Rose, Citrus, old fashioned hand soap, and fresh air. To my nose it's 80% rose, with citrus as the supporting backdrop. Not sure I will use it, the scent is very rose forward. Definitely a good Rose scent, just a bit too much of it for my tastes.

Funny, I had asked Tommy for a recommendation of a soap that is only rose. Glad I never pounced on that. I fear I wouldn't have been happy with that idea, either.

This will probably eventually end up on the BST. Ooh well, it was worth a shot.

Bought for restoration. Spent half a day and razor can work again.

Another vintage hand painted ceramic shaving soap bowl for my collection. Hopefully this one will hold a D.R. Harris Lavender Shaving Soap refill.
