Thanks

There’s a vetiver Rejuvenating Serum available at IB.

Good to hear. I’m hopeful for a vet over soap.

So.....
I used the rejuvenating serum after my shave today.
(Vetiver is the scent. Not really to my liking, but that's irrelevant)
The hole is tiny....could barely get any out.
So what do I do?
Gave it a few violent shakes and managed to get a little trickle of the stuff in the palm of my hand.
Applied it....and then......BAM!
Where the HECK did all this stuff come from?

My face looked like it was smothered in a tub of Vaseline. LMAO.

Washed it off and the remaining residue was plenty to leave my skin feeling like a plush, supple, very nourished, moisturized layer of wholesome goodness.

Moral of the story....a little...and I mean A LITTLE goes a looooong way. Wink

I opened up the Hole a little bit by putting a tweezer/Phillips screwdriver in the hole and it helped the flow

3-4 drops is plenty.

I find if I leave the bottle upside down, in short order I begin to get drops from the bottle, no modification necessary. You just need a touch of patience. I use 5 drops.

Wait a few seconds and it goes. For me 4-5 drops with a drop of balm, together.

Ordered on the site westcostshaving Shaving Soap GD NYChypre Expo. I paid, westcostshaving. They confirmed the order and were silent for several days. Then a few days later they reported that they had resold to another person and that they no longer had this soap in the warehouse. The standard apologies and wishes of a good day on their part look like low-grade sarcasm. Money spoils people. Unpleasant experience with them. I hope this is tricky for ordinary employees.

Thats bizarre - I've ordered from them several times and always had great service. I ordered GD Tao and NYChypre from them a week or two ago and they arrived quickly considering I'm in Canada. It usually takes longer from US to Canada so I was pleasantly surprised. There are still several GD soaps and serums available on Italian Barber including Tao. No NYChypre, however. Sorry about your bad experience.
