My past 4 shaves are attributed to the AOS unscented shaving cream to which I have added a generous portion of Domenico Caraceni 1913 fragrance.

Today I used Old Post Road Sandalwood soap. I did this with a Shark blade in a ball-end prewar Tech. Old Post Road soap is a great soap. Plenty of slide and does not clog the razor for a great shave. I got it online from them directly. A/S is Clubman, of course. I also attribute some of the great shave to the Tech. Not to be disrespectful of the newer versions of DE machines, the Tech's are great pieces of equipment. They along with a couple of super speeds are my go-to's.

musgo real classic.

Not so much a reply, more of an update, right? Anyway, this month's brand of choice is D.R. Harris, specifically Arlington in the tube for 5 shaves, to be followed by No.29, Marlborough soap and tube, and Peppermint. It reminded me of the fact that it's one of several highly respected old name English stalwarts. Not standing alone, these few products from the several surviving old-line makers are universally worthy of praise when it comes time to lather up and shave.

For the month of November I'm using the category I call "One and Done". It consists of my last stick of Tabac tallow soap, and a couple of pucks of Joris shaving soap from Plisson.

Kudos to Asylum Flying Mango shave soap. This lather is a super-performer. Incidentally, it fits perfectly in my Mitchell's Wool Fat ceramic bowl. I regret not using this soap much earlier.

Yesterday's soap was a trip back to the old school shaving soap - i.e.: AOS tallow based sandalwood soap. Too bad the smell of this soap is powerfully repulsive to me, and whenever I decide to use it I am amazed at the excellent performance of the lather. I suppose that's why I haven't just thrown it away already. This putrid puck has provided 39 repulsive smelling shaves. I'm known to be a bit impulsive when it comes to such innocuous things. I'd rather give it away if anyone ever decides to take it off my hands. I'd happily pay full postage and send it to someone. If I can't give it away, I'll probably just throw it away next time I think about it. =D> Please take it off my hands! Cheers!
PS: If I haven't received any response by June 10th, it'll be at the bottom of the trash bin.

On Wednesday I was away from home so I used Cremo brushless with menthol for the first time ever. Excellent brushless shaving cream. I'm glad I finally decided to buy it.😁
