Is it a good match scentwise Rob?

Good Morning Ross,
It's a very good match. I liked the scent I just couldn't get on with the soap.

 

[flashashton27]

Ross, don't ask him. He hates it...

Uh, you have gone right down in my estimations now Rob!

 

[Pat-W]

Thanks Pat! Which one did you go for?

I went for the coniferous, scent wise it's similar to my OSP fougere.

RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
OSP Bay Rum
PAL Injecto-Matic
Schick S/S single [ 9-Japan]
Alum Rub/rinse off
Jaguar Prestige A/S lotion.

Back from holidays have continued use my Travel Razor . Was the first time I had used it with a Japanese Schick blade, and all Shaves were very smooth and close. I thought maybe the water, but noew have had a further two shaves at home and both were extremely good.

I know that the PAL is a razor that some cannot use, but for those who like it I recommend that they try out a Japanese Schick blade. I have a tough beard, but I have been getting Shaves that equal any I have got with the highl

Green Irish Tweed was a ''game changer'' for me. I love it.

Is your faith now restored?

It's odd, I'll give you that! I can't really say what it smells like. A bit florally, maybe? It's a great soap though. I'd definately try a few others. Bay Rum maybe. Where did you buy it from?

FYI, Stirling's Bay Rum is most definitely a bay rum lover's bay rum. It is STRONG. If you are lukewarm about that scent, it may not be for you. I love Stirling soaps, but it was too much for me.

Excellent pic, Clint. It took me a minute to find the razor in there. [emoji1] Very well set up.

Thank you Jared. I was worried about losing the razor in there as well.

Friday...

Soap - OSP Neroli
Brush - Semogue 2000 boar
Bowl - Steve Woodhead Ceramics
Razor - Gillette Slim Adjustable (6)
Blade - Gillette 7 o' Clock Yellow #4
Post - Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Smell - Alt-Innsbruck EdC

OSP. What can I say? Tremendous stuff. The Semogue shed a few hairs on its second outing; but no more than's expected for a new brush. It's going to be a great one, if my other Smoags are anything to go by.

So another nice shave. 4 turns from the 7 o' Clock is about right for me. A different blade next time. For some time, I'd been put off by reviews of Alt-Innsbruck for what 's an emphasis on the scent of tobacco. However, it's clearly the scent of the flower; as opposed to the leaf as smoked in cigars/ettes. So it's light, fresh, floraly and with a nice menthol presence too. I have Kevy Shaves to thank for enabling me on this one.
