What soap/cream did you use today?

I really like the scent of a rose.  I also dislike rose scents.  It’s a conundrum I understand due to the high cost of natural rose scents and although our scientists are very good, they still can’t make a fragrance oil to match what the Almighty does.  I’m ok with that and I’m ok with our artificial rose as long as it’s in the band with some other great players.  This Art of Shaving Rose is very lightly scented but so “true rose” and performance is great.

I threw a new knot in this brush on Thursday then went to my Utah office and got home late last night. Thought a string of AoS might be right so I chose Art of Shaving Sandalwood (that’s what’s in the Cortland can). Love the new knot and it suits the brush better. I took out a brown mew knot which although functional was ugly like my brother’s prom dates.  You already know how I feel about Valobra AoS Sandalwood.

Lather was stellar actually amazing ! Unfortunately the scent is so light it is all but lost on me. I also got irritation all over my face from it and will need to pass this set on. Disappointed for sure after all the hype and delays. To clarify for those that only read what they wanted to in that thread. It's a broken record that he's a one man show etc etc etc. We all know that. But don't have basically a pre-order with a set shipping date (He's been at this long enough to know what he can and can't do) Even then if he was surprised by the sales he gave false ship dates 3 more times to me. At that point he knew how many orders he had and the situation since it was sold out already. Have a great day everyone !!

You can underpromise and over deliver but you can’t over promise and under deliver.

These Razorock pucks might be the best value in all of shaving. Great smelling.  Great performance. Cheap as dirt.  

Cool handle Lip. Haven't seen that one b4.

It appears that it takes a mere 0.6 grams of this splendid soap to concoct my daily lather. Remarkably, even after 38 shaves, there are still 176 grams left in the jar. If my calculations are sound, we’re in for about 280 more lathers before I manage to scrape this vessel clean. The grand finale of this epic undertaking, I reckon, shall unfold around the middle of next September. While surveying the vast panorama of this grooming odyssey, one can't help but feel a touch of the awe that Cortez must have experienced on his peak in Darien. Daunting indeed, but also exhilarating.
