Windsor (D.R. Harris & Co. Ltd.) vetiver cologne
Shave 22 ・ 89 g left
Windsor will have a lifespan measured in decades. After six years and twenty-two shaves, I’ve managed to scrape only eleven grams of soap off this rock-hard puck. Recently I grated it and repacked it into its beechen bowl, but it’s still as dense as concrete. And yet in spite of its adamantine texture, it yields a very nice lather, while the matching milk, suffused with sweet notes of rose and vetiver, makes a shave with Windsor a perpetual delight.

Monday, June 27th — PAA's "Planet Phoenix", which came with the travel scuttle.
It was pretty good, but there doesn't seem to be any further info on it at their site. What base, what are the fragrance notes, etc., and it seems only to exist in sample form for shipping with the scuttle.
They recommended scooping out the entire container to use all at once. Hah! I figure I can get at least 5 shaves out of it with my standard quantity of 1/4 teaspoon of product per shave.
**correction**
Oops. I only had to scroll waaaaaay down on their scuttle description, and all three points were addressed.

Quote:Planet Phoenix Travel SoapIt's about half-way between a croap and a cream.
Lastly, you will also find an exclusive travel size, Formula CK-6 Artisan Shave Soap, Planet Phoenix. Once this is used up, save the jar and reload it w/your favorite soap to take on your next trip!
Scent Profile:
Sweet, honeyed notes of neroli layer with bergamot, mandarin, frangipani, Labdanum and Oud.
Exclusive?
What I mean by Exclusive is, Planet Phoenix is only available with our travel scuttle, you will not find a full size soap or full size splash at this time!
We could be Heroes, just for one day.
