SOTD 4-10 August 2019

Needed something quick today but wanted to try Southern Witchcrafts Peach which is a new one that arrived with a bunch of Stirling soaps. The scent is Peach but with a very subdued dirt like mix to it. Not a super sweet peach scent but a different take and quite nice. All vegan and a very slick soap, not too thirsty. Great cushion and a pleasure to use.

Razor of the day was the Merkur 45 which is a a great little razor which compared to the Mergress earlier in the week, feels like a toothpick in hand. Light. Still a great razor. Loaded up with a Gillette Wilkinson Sword and went to work.

Lovely two pass DFS and ready to start the day and the chores. Have a lovely week all!

The soap has a moderately strong, fresh, sweet orange scent with just a touch of tangerine.  It easily made good lather that had excellent cushion but just fair slickness, with some dragging of the razor at the end of each pass, but it was not drying.  Definitely worth trying again on another warm morning.

Nancy Boy’s shave creams are a joy to use. Sandalwood is the latest scent addition. Someone like me, with slightly sensitive skin, can appreciate that the scent is not overpowering, yet still easily detectable. I’ve never been a particular fan sandalwood, but this is a pleasing version of the scent. The post-shave fragrance here, Oud Suede, is obviously a different type of scent, yet meshed well in the end. (Of course it helps that it’s a favorite of mine…)
