What soap/cream did you use today?

PdP. the light herbal, clean, scent goes well with any post shave scents.

Shave 53

I’d like to make this a full-on Frenchified shave. I have a French soap and a French brush, both of which I enjoy very much. Now I need help finding a French razor. I’ve seen some posts featuring Atelier Durdan’s Le Maurice. It sounds like a mild, smooth operator, but I don’t care for the handle Agustin is offering now. Too glitzy. His Vestige razor is gorgeous (thanks for today's post Sascoman), but it takes Gem blades, and I don't always get along with them. Can you think of other razors made in France?

I was recently gifted a care package that included, among other things, a bar of Pre de Provence Ocean air soap, and three very generous samples of ETHOS custom 10% EOS Skin Food Splash (SFS).  I am no stranger to ETHOS SFS in its normal strength.  Like many others, I think, I have amassed a collection of them over time.  The regular SFS has always worked great for me, and I find myself using the custom 10% more sparingly - but I get the same excellent results and delightful, longer than typical legged scents.  I also get the same ultra sheer finish that makes me personally prefer the splashes to the lotions and serums.

My preshave routine is almost always to wash with soap and water.  PdP is not new to me, and although it has been a while since I have used a PdP soap, I have always liked them.  Scentwise however, the PdP Ocean Air appeals to me more than most, with a scent that is clean and refreshing, authentic, and noticeable but not obtrusive enough to linger and interfere with whatever follows.
