What soap/cream did you use today?

Solid Shaving Soap (Cyril R. Salter) lavender & rosemary
Shave 1 ・ 75 g left

This is a fine soap. There’s nothing wrong with it. It lathered well and gave me a good shave. Smelled pretty good, too, in a mild, clean, unobtrusive fashion. My only grouse is that it’s just not remarkable in any way … well, in any good way. What I mean is, the only thing that’s unusual about it is the size. This is a teeny tiny puck, measuring about 2¾ inches at its widest. And it doesn’t come in a tub. You have to supply your own. I shuffled through all my empties, but I couldn’t find anything small enough to accommodate it. So I went up to the kitchen and nipped a little dipping bowl we picked up at Jugtown Pottery, Moore County, North Carolina, twenty years ago. Soap slipped right in, but I have to use the diminutive Simpsons Trafalgar T1 to get at it. Anything larger swallows up the puck whole.

I was really tempted to get this when I saw the announcement... How does she smell, Mark?

Great scent! Nice tart lime but there's an added element, a depth that pushes it slightly away from just citrus and more toward "barbershop" territory. Something a little powdery to my nose but subtle.

Great pic - that WR1 is a beauty!

Thanks Sasco. I need a 61 or less. It is too much for a daily.
I don't know how these guys roll with gaps bigger than. 70. I must be a sissy.

I’m exactly the same - mine is .61 and it’s all I can handle as a daily shaver.  Makes me wonder how a .48 with .02mm exposure would be ….

Cheers!

Can't believe I've let 11 months (to the day) go by since using this. Best cedar scent I've smelled and the Nai formula is superb. Would love to see it released again.
