Penhaligon's English Fern shaving soap (tallow)

Woke up and it was obviously an Ethos Colonia day…

1st time using the "new" Kaizan base...not sure I could've chosen a better scent

Interesting, I was thinking she might be on the cutting block, but I'll have to pull her out and see how seasons change (everything).

I would certainly encourage you to give it another try.  I'm not a big "fruit"-forward fan as I find them to be too sweet.  But the P&C seems more subdued to me.  I pick up the peach scent easily but cognac gives it a touch of spice that i find more calming that cloying

Cool, how's the performance and scent?

From the jar I can hear lavender and the smell of a good tree. In the foam, lavender fades into the background. And I hear a very good woody scent. Performance-wise, I expected more. Very high quality cream, top tier. But, I like Kaizen better.

Thanks, is this a lathering product or non-lather/brushless product?

Family events are the best.  This morning my sons in-laws hosted a picnic for both families and it was awesome.  I spent some time in Alaska with Lance (his father-in-law) long before Craig and Trista became a thing.  Great people and almost as good at “grandpa” as me!  Had to clean up before the party so DR Harris Marlborough it was.  That soap is getting pretty thin but still dozens of shaves left.

Mmm hmm...Maleki again. So far I'm sticking to the every other day routine, and the doughnut hole keeps getting a little bigger. There are probably still a good number of shaves left, and I'll keep enjoying 'em. My wife jumped in the shower as I was wrapping up the shave. I offered her some of my leftover lather, and she asked "What scent is this? Gasoline?". Hmmph. And I think my olfactory skills suck.
