That's a great picture you paint Paul.View attachment 37537~SOTD~
Prep ~ Mysore Sandlewood soap, Luke warm shower
Razor ~ Ever-Ready 1912 with Stainless Darwin type handle
Blade ~ Ever-Ready Corrux stropping blade
Soap ~ Noble Otter - Flying Hide
Brush ~ Thater 4125/2 Silvertip (Gel tips)
Post ~ Vitos Tobacco Aftershave
Scent ~ Christian Dior - Leather Oud
I always get a great shave from any of my 1912s but I do enjoy the heavier longer handle that I grafted to this one and these Stropping blades are a perfect match for these older razors, just as sharp after a strop but a little smoother imo.
The soap I only used a few days ago and I found both the scent and the performance top draw and today was no change, I really get a strong smell of leather and that smoky cedar and a smell of tobacco, the two I'm missing is th bergermont and bay but my nose isn't what it should be so I'm lucky to be picking up on what I am.
To paint a picture, I'm sitting in my leather flying jacket in a leather arm chair smoking a cigar and in the room is a fire with some cedar logs smouldering away while I wait for the shout to run towards the Spitfires on the airfield to do some battling with the Bosh before comming home for Ham and eggs!
If a smell of a tub of soap can make me Imagine all of that and be a bloody good performer well I will be buying some more!
My brush was as wonderful as the soap, gel tips giving this brush the softest of face feels when lathering, it has been one of my best brush buys of late, cheers @Blackmass
To finnish of a wonderful shave and to complement the soap it had to be Dior Leather Oud again and why not a top notch scent that works well even with this warm weather we've been having.
Wishing you all get home for your Ham and eggs, let's be carful up there! Pip Pip. P.
