Most astute scent matching on the soap/splash/EDT, Barrie.
 
What are your thoughts on the Tuberosa? It is one of those scents I have pondered over

Greetings

It's hugely different from anything else in the Miller Harris line and anything else I personally have ever tried and has, (IMHO) by far the most longevity and sillage in all their range that I have tried (about 20)

It is an 'odd' scent. I have only ever tested one other Tuberose fragrance, Fracas by Robert Piguet which is very feminine and hugely different. It would not be unfair to describe it as a slightly sour aroma in a pleasant way. I really don't have a yardstick with which to compare it against. I would however say with absolute certainty that it is not a safe blind buy, you really do need to get a tester first.

Regards
Dick.
 


Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Soap: Dr Dittmar Spezial
Razor: Parker Variant
Blade: NOS Polsilver (3)
Post: Thayers Superhazel / Myrsol Emulsion
Scent: Caron Yatagan

Third and final shave with the Parker before it wings its way to the next User. I used a range of settings in this shave, running the first two passes (WTG, XTG) on setting 4, then the final pass ATG on setting 2. I then went in for a full clean-up/buff on the same setting. The result was BBS.
I find the Dr Dittmar soap very comforting, and as the weather is cooling down a little in my neck of the woods, I treated myself to a scuttle shave with lovely warm lather. Despite being a vegetable-based soap, the Dr Dittmar is surprisingly thirsty, but the reward of patience is beautiful creamy lather with a soft clean scent. Cushioning and glide are very good, with fair residual slickness.
Been having some minor skin problems (non-shaving), so I spashed on the medicated Thayers Superhazel post-shave, followed a few minutes later by my usual Myrsol Emulsion. Lovely face feel now. :D
Finished with the oakmoss King - Yatagan. The powerhouse of the Caron triumvirate, I have grown to love this 70's classic. Power yet restraint - Caron do a wonderful job with their scents.

Greetings,


Another very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

The w.s. soap bowl provided me with a acceptable lather i bloomed the bowl for a few minutes in warm water, before adding the glycerine drops,then using my damp brush whipped up a superb lather in no time ,dipping the tips with a few drops of water to get the consistancy that i like before application to my face,the glycerine really adds a extra slickness to the lather givng it wonderful glide, (in my opinion).

The 39c/astra s.s. duo worked together excellently, mowing through my stubble effortlessly.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of denim ~ original A/S lotion.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling 'like a man that doesn't have to try, too hard'...A wonderful finish to the shave.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
