Monday, May 6th

Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor (two band)
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: I Coloniali Mango Oil Shave Soap
Scuttle: Ladysea Scuttle
A/S: Taylor Victorian Limes

I am not sure why I waited so long to adopt a bowl of the I Coloniali shave soap. Officially categorized as a cream, it is actually more like a soap (not even a croap) and it smells AMAZING. I cannot begin to describe the scent but...it has a smokey quality to it and it is intoxicating. The soap lathered easily although the lather it produces is not the billowy lather you might get from a tallow soap but is rather a bit more dense and very slick. I enjoyed an excellent shave! The post shave skin care is excellent and the scent of the soap lingers a bit...which in this case is a very good thing. Now about an hour post shave...I still smell the intoxicating scent. Here is my complete review

Gillette Model #58 & Wilkinson LB blade
Simpson Duke #2 Best
Trumpers Violet shave cream
D R Harris's Pink A/S
Crown Eau de Quinine

Sort of an Oscar Wilde-ish day, scent wise. I got this sample of the Crown scent from Craig...which was very kind of him. It is probably my favourite of all the men's colognes that Crown used to offer. A pox on Clive Christian!!
