SOTD 7-13 January 2018

Razor: Timeless Bronze .38
Blade: Polsilver (2)
Soap: Mike's / Grooming Dept Frankensoap (2 Lily of The Valley, 1 part Yuzu)
Aftershave: Stirling Lemon Chill ASB
Bowl: Doug Smith Pottery
Brush: Haircut & Shave Co. 24MM Synthetic

Thoughts: I must first offer apologies to Mohammad, because I know he puts a lot of effort into devising scents. On it's own, Yuzu is very balanced - a citrus prevented from becoming too bright by herbal notes. However, after three prior shaves combining samples from both soaps, I am convinced these two were never meant to be apart, so to the mixing bowl they went. The brightness of citrus is taken down another notch, while the dark, indolic lily-of-the-valley impression (fun fact: it is impossible to obtain LoTV distillate) weaves in and out throughout the entire shave - daring you to catch it, if you can.
