SOTD 26 June-2 July 2016

My blade: a Dorco ST 301. I think it was my 9th shave. That's a good blade!

My razor: a NEW in gold. How old are these? My guess is they are from 1930.

Shaving is easy for me. Is this because I am older?

How do you find the Floris Verbena, John?

It was incredible, David. It made lather faster than most of my other soaps, and the lather was fantastic, possibly even slightly better than that produced by the vintage Floris No. 89. I had expected a lemony fragrance, but it was a very pleasant green scent. Clearly this is going to be a favorite soap.

I agree, John. I've only used as intended, as a stick, and lather generates so easily. I'm thinking these are some 25-30 years older than the No.89, and the scent is wonderful.

That Darwin looks awesome, how does it shave?

The Darwin is surprisingly efficient and smooth. The angle is very different to other razors (shallow), but it's easy to find.
