This was an excellent Shave! The shorter cutting edge allows you to maneuver the razor to get hard to reach areas. Although I obtained a few weepers in the process, I did obtain an excellent overall shave!

Patchouli (Turtleship Shave Co.) patchouli, vetiver, juniper
I love the smell of patchouli on a wet tropical afternoon. It's the smell of the rain in the dirt and all the leafy vegetation around it. I know patchouli comes with some grungy cultural baggage, but I wish more soap makers featured it front and center in at least one of their soaps. It can be a complete and fascinating fragrance all on its own, and when garnished with a few side notes, it can be remarkably rich and refreshing at the same time. Turtleship's version offers a mix of patchouli, juniper, and vetiver. It's splendid.
