Yesterday we learned from Tommy and Nero the value of slick over fluffy.  One with Mitchell’s and the other with Williams.  I use em both and concur with Nero on Williams (modern) but vintage is a sassy good soap.  Mitchell’s has always been an easy lather for me.  This morning I did my own slick lather with Trumpers Eucris.  Trumpers did like a lot of companies do; reformulated from a remarkable soap to a thin non-lathering mess.  It’s slick for sure and it’ll shave but it looks like someone forgot to use a brush.  I love the scent though so I grated it up with an Italian softy that had no scent.  Now I have a perfectly awesome frankensoap that gets it done.  Too bad we have to apply the fix though.  I still have several old trumpers (thanks Nero) and hope Trumpers will reformulated again like Floris did. That DublDuck brush is restored with an omega knot and it’s my oldest brush in the flock.

Love the DD brush

I'm really curious how the Trumper soaps work with Ethos First Lather!

Windsor (D.R. Harris) vetiver cologne
Shave 24 ・ 89 g left

Who’s in for Windsor Wednesday? Just the thing for a mid-week pick me up. I love this stuff and I’m happy to see it come round every week. The performance is dependable, but the fragrance is what has me hooked. Orange and bergamot melt into a warm, leathery scent with notes of black pepper, amber, patchouli, cedarwood, vanilla, and vetiver. It may not be a groundbreaking masterpiece of perfumery, yet for some reason it suits me to perfection. And on my last day I hope a big bottle of Windsor aftershave finds its way into my pine box so I can smell that divine scent throughout the eternities.

WeeScott, how could anyone take a comment from you with anything but respect! Yup, you’re right, soap is an abysmal environment for a grand fragrance. I have the highest regard for all the soap cookers who manage to make their products smell good. Czech and Speake did a fine job with their No. 88 and their Oxford & Cambridge shaving soaps. Even though these don't have the same vibrancy or richness as their eaux de toilette counterparts, they still manage to smell pleasant and offer an enjoyable shave.

Lipripper660, as I write, a wooden bowl of Eucris hard soap is winging its way across the globe to our little shack. Like you, I'm crazy for this scent. My hope and dream is that a super floppy synthetic brush will somehow conjure up a useable lather. This may be foolhardy, I know. Little good is said about the current state of Trumper's hard soaps, but I feel bound to try; and even if the lather falls flat and I have to send the soap to the showers, I'll still have that creepy black bowl to hold my sadness, broken heart, and lost dreams.
