Wholly Kaw Pompelo

https://youtu.be/oeada5RZxtg

Great review Ruds, I love Wholly Kaw but haven’t heard much about this one. Can you recommend any complimentary Aftershaves for this one? Also, what kind of Razor is that in the Review? Is it a GEM of some kind? Thanks!

Thank you TheHunter. Being a soley grapefruit scented soap, many citrus forward aftershaves pair nicely. For a close match I would suggest Stirling Soap Co. Grapefruit aftershave. If you want to be close but have a bit more complexity, I enjoy the Stirling Soap Co. Stirling for Him (Versace Pour Homme clone) or Through the Fire Fine Crafts Roadster (notes of Lime, ginger and tobacco).

The razor is a 1924 patent Ever-Ready Shovel head mounted on a Razorock Barberpole handle.

Thumbs up Ruds. I have been watching any number of your reviews recently and they are always informative. You always seem like you are speaking just above a whisper and sharing secrets among a select group of friends.

This video has the first explanation I have gotten which explains what TSM refers to--The Shave Market. Searching on that yields the fact that this is a Facebook group. Because of privacy concerns I do not participate in that group or in Facebook in general but at least I now know why my Declaration Grooming soap is labeled TSM Fougere and why the new release from Wholly Kaw references TSM.

Why did Tallow & Steel get a 90 while WK Pompelmo comes in at 95?

Thanks,
Glenn

Many thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate hearing from folks who enjoy or informed by the content.

I understand your position on Facebook. Thankfully WK made this release open to anyone. Even if you are not in the group.

Part of my reviews is to assign a shavescore to every soap base’s performance. The 90 score for Tallow + Steel is quite good. WK is just better and therefore the score is higher.

Best,
Ruds
