Summer break soaps - Teacher's Pet
This was a very nice shave, with a wonderful scent. I already wrote a review in the summer break forum here, please check it out:

No. 88 t. (Czech & Speake) rose, plumeria, vetiver, sandalwood
I smelled this soap and was instantly taken back to London, to our old flat in Bayswater, where the housekeeper or her husband (or maybe it was the dog) was drenched daily with Czech & Speake No. 88 cologne. It smelled dark, a little musty, and very Edwardian, just like our rooms. The scent of today’s soap is far milder than the cologne, but it’s still potent enough to conjure up old ghosts. Maybe the purplish color of the puck is tainting my judgment, but my first sniff gave me the smell of grapes, along with sweet incense, pears, and melons. What lingers is a deep rose nestled into some musky sandalwood and vetiver. When you shave with this soap, a silk smoking jacket and monogrammed slippers may not be entirely out of place.
