SOTD 7-13 July 2024

What is that you say? Is that a new Mallard soap? Yes!! My first shave with Mallard Tonka, and it’s fantastic. The scent is complex, dark, and sweet.  Some similarities to Ethos’ DragonsBeard. In typical Grooming Dept. form, the base is awesome.  Lather and slickness are some of the best I’ve experienced.  In short, this soap was worth the wait for me. I hope everyone had a great Friday!

Dave, is that a new Semogue 1305?  Is it broken in yet?  How are you liking it?

Recent arrival from the BST so it had some love before. Nce 1st outing with me and see why many speak highly of it. It's a keeper for me and hope the paint doesn't flake as I've seen it  is famous for.

Hope the paint doesn't flake?    Ha ha ha ha.........

Yeah..... something like that. Yours needs a bit of sanding now

Soggy start to the weekend but, still a heck of a shave that was effective and so comfy!
Great shaves to all….
