Although I’ve been into this hobby of wet shaving for several years now, I’m still very enthusiastic about trying new products. Last night it was The Obsessive Soap Perfectionist’s (OSP) Neroli soap, and the first impression was more than favorable. An absolutely wonderful scent filled the room in a matter of seconds, even before any contact with water. And the shave commenced with a very nice, silky-smooth lather that was effortless to whip up even with hard water.

Looking at online reviews, the Bic Chrome Platinum blade seems to be a polarizing one, but this is another new-to-me product that I’ve been nothing but pleased with so far. And to complete the shave, the orange-scented Santa Paula aftershave finely complemented the Neroli soap.

Brush: Oscar 11 w/ El Druida Manchurian, multi colored handle
Soap: Route 66 Bay Lime Twist
Aftershave: Old Spice Fresh Lime
Great way to finish my month with a 3 pass near BBS. I've enjoyed reading everyone's this month and have learned very much from all the participants. Had an excellent month being introduced to three excellent soaps. Two new soaps from Route 66, and a Reef Point Soap.
The Route 66 Cranberry Citrus is an amazing blend of tart cranberries, juicy red grapefruit and sweet orange, with tangy tangerine and lemon-lime. The Route 66 Bay Lime Twist is a delightful synergy of pure East Indian Bay brightened with a generous twist of lime, mingled with ginger and supporting notes of lemon, lily, and grapefruit. Both soaps have a long lasting, slick lather, protective cushion and glide with great soothing post shave conditioning. Both soaps are winners.
The Reef Point Soap Tranquility lavender has long been recognized as a fragrance that helps with relaxation, and together with Peppermint essential oil this soap will provide you with a cool and relaxing shave. A real treat for the senses. This is another great soap. I don't feel the Reef Point Soap is as slick as the Route 66 soaps, but it is very close.

Now that is a cold refreshing shave. Haven't seen that brush before from Steve, is it new?
