What soap/cream did you use today?

No. 89 (Floris) citrus fougère
Shave 10 ・ 119 g left

“No. 89 was created in the sub-basement at 89 Jermyn Street which was traditionally and affectionally known as ‘The Mine’. It is where all [Floris] fragrances were created up until the late 1970s. Devoted wearers of No. 89 include Cary Grant, Sir Alec Guinness, and Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond.”

It’s taken ten shaves, but I’ve finally managed to use one gram of this terrifically hard soap. And once again my shave was aided and abetted by Ethos First Lather, which not only makes for a better glide, but also leaves my skin feeling like I’ve used one of Ethos’ prime soaps.
