A relatively quick face-lather (about 5 minutes) with GD Verbrannt.  Lots of bubbles but I really had to move through the shave this morning and didn't have time to really work up the lather

On a recent Pasteur Pharmacy order, included was a sample of E&S Rasage soap & aftershave. I haven't tried this French soap before so I finally gave it a try. The slickness on the first shave wasn't as good as I would hope for, but a few more shaves & I'll make a better determination on that. Overall a very nice first shave with E&S Rasage Oasis. I look forward to the next few shaves to get a better impression of its performance. I'm interested to see how it compares to my favorite aquatic scented soap, SV 70th.

If it matters to anyone, my wife likes it!

On the road so this is the set up until Sunday.  Frankly, nothing wrong with it at all!

Arlington (D.R. Harris & Co. Ltd.) citrus fougère
Shave 1 ・ 114 g left

Years ago my wife used to scatter orange peels over the lawn just before I mowed. She read somewhere that felines didn’t like the smell of citrus, and she was bent on keeping the neighbor’s foul cat off our grass. I'm a mulcher, not a bagger, so the peels were ground up with the grass and then spread all around. Well, it worked. The stinking cat disappeared, and now my dear wife no longer tosses peels around the yard. Still, I fondly remember the smell of freshly cut grass mixed with mulched citrus. I never imagined I would find a shaving soap that hits the same notes, but this bowl of Arlington comes close. Lots of neroli and sweet orange is braced by all manner of green and woody notes. It smells like a sunny spring day when the trees are in bloom and the grass is green and you haven’t got a care in the world. I always thought Windsor was the best thing to come out of the house of D. R. Harris. This Arlington, though, may be just as grand. And it doesn't hurt that they threw in an extra fourteen grams. At the rate I'm using this soap, that's nearly another month of fragrant shaves.
