Nectar Amissa t. (Noble Otter) spiced potpourri
“Ummm, your face is so smooth.” My wife of thirty years rarely remarks on the quality of my shave. She notices scents from time to time, but usually not the closeness. When she does comment on the baby-buttitude of my last shave, I’m a bit flabbergasted, and I start wondering what went right. For today’s happy shave, a lot of the credit is due, first of all, to the razor. The Rockwell 6S makes up for what it lacks in glamor with an outstanding close and comfortable shave. I love baseplate 4 when I’m shaving seven days a week. And of course today’s soap also scored some major points. To be honest, there’s not whole lot that’s special about Noble Otter soaps. They do a good, but maybe not a great job in all the important categories. But they are truly outstanding in one area: residual slickness. If you really want to enjoy a shave with one of their soaps, don’t be afraid to ride the cap of your razor on the cross-grain and against-grain passes and try a little buffing. Then go find your wife.
