Now there's a bunch of blokes who know naff all about having a decent shave
Ahem. This evening's presentation from SOTD productions featured a shave themed 'Hocus Krokos'
View attachment 65384

Magical illusion - Schick Proline
Hocus - Wee whisky barrel
Pocus - Krokos Abbate y La Mantia
Pocahontas - Krokos Abbate y La Mantia aftershave
Please note this shave contained no Teddy bears
A first time out with the new Krokos which arrived on the doorstep this morning. Firstly the packaging oozes quality in itself and one hopes that the contents are very much the equal. Certainly the lovely glass jar adds to the inquisitiveness.
The soap itself is not quite hard and yet not quite a croap. A kind of soft but hard. A bit like brewers droop. Easily picked up by the super Groom Room brush and I soon learnt I'd overdone the quantity and a bowl of lather I could bathe in. An odd sort of gold colour which on the face looks like one has just received the midas touch. Which is more than I can ever get from Mrs Satanfriendly, although she does a good line in extracting gold.
But shit, this is one super soap. Glide, hydration, great residual qualities and a wonderful oriental scent with organic overtones. Add to that the scent goes well beyond the shave itself and things are looking (and smelling) good.
It isn't particularly cheap but much in the mould of MdC it starts to become good value when you realise how a little goes a long way. It is very much a pamper item, but one I am extremely happy to have in the collection. A top drawer soap together with the likes of MdC, Signature Soaps, Extro and other quality shaving mediums.
Highly recommended from this end for something different.
The aftershave splash just throws me in to a heady dream. So impressed by the scent I know what my next EDC is.
The razor just adds to the whole quality experience and
@Paul L if you are wondering where after the Hawk then the brass General is a good starting point. Honestly, it just gets better.
A real bit of me time thoroughly enjoyed at the end of a busy kind of day.
By the time I get this developed and printed I should have you on Facebook within, say, the next three months.
So from oriental scents and over to some oriental girls and the wonderful Trident. Enjoy as much as I have this evening's shave
