Grooming Department Sandalwood

Nice blend with Sandalwood playing a partnership/duet, not the lead singer.

I make a better lather with the previous base / version. Still trying to learn this new base. I think the water band tolerance is more narrow. I almost broke it down whereas before it was easily pushed forward via multiple brush tip 'wettings'

C U all tomorrow

Tommy,
Are you saying that this is a "new Kairos" base?
Or, are you saying you had the Nobile in a completely different base (not called Kairos)?

It’s easy to make a glossy, slick lather with this soap, and the finish is great, even if it is a bit waxy. My only disappointment is with the scent. It’s too mild. It lasts for a minute and then it’s gone. I had to boost it today with a spritz of Frank’s Mysore Sandal edt. Now that was a good smelling shave.

Nero, this is the new Nobile. Maybe the base is not new. Gotta look now. Thanks for inspection of my ignorance. Do you have the first release of the Nobile?

Ok, the new Nobile is the Kairos base - & not the LE Kairos with Emu oil. I am off my lathering game with GD lately.

Thx Neroli

TommyCarioca, just used a sample of Kairos today, one does need sneak up on hydrating it in my experience.

The lather has a different quality to it that can cause initial caution but in usage it performs top shelf - right there in top 2 artisans.

It quite light, incredibly slick, more cushioned than it would seem and with outstanding post shave. It definitely a tech marvel.

More predisposed to the Mallard base since its latest updates followed by Nai but one cannot deny the new Kairos and KSE incredible breakthroughs.
