It's always a kick to see Aqua Velva on SOTD. My father used it religiously in the 50's and 60's.
 
First use of two items today. OSP & Feather.

Myrsol Emulsion.
Simpsons Duke 3 Best.
OSP Neroli.
ATT M1.
Feather.
Lab Series balm.

Loved the Feather. In a mild razor it worked well. I'll see how it lasts because apparently they drop off a cliff. My usual blade is a Polsilver which I love.
The OSP was lovely & I am a Neroli convert. Anybody know what Colognes are Neroli based ?

Good morning guys. Wonderful smooth three pass shave today with the Pal. The Palmolive Cool Menthol is such a wonderful protective and creamy lather with a beautiful cool punch. Glacial Lemon Chill Balm added more freeze to finish this shave in style. Have a great shave and a great day friends. :)

Hi @Jel999 - Mugler Cologne from Thierry Mugler is one of the best Neroli based scents out there. Very similar to Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford & Original Vetiver by Creed but a much cheaper price!

I would describe it as a clean, soapy green fresh scent. Performance on my skin is excellent for a citrus-based fragrance. This for me is a perfect spring & summer fragrance! Highly recommended. I know @Scuba Steve just got a bottle as well.

Some others I've tested recently & really enjoyed were Grand Neroli from Atelier Cologne & Vert & Bigarade from L'Occitane!
