What soap/cream did you use today?

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.

Just might have to have my own Harris binge party. And I think you need to start mulching citrus peels again.

Is the black tube to the left a cigar holder?  It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a good cigar (or any cigar) but I used to carry one those in my briefcase all the time.

The shave den is now down to three soaps...Verbrannt, MdC Fougere, and WSP Dragon's Blood (it's the travel soap that stays in the dopp kit).  All others have been packed up and sent to the basement.  I'll stick with Verbrannt for another week and a half
