TOBS (Vintage 2016) Sandalwood Shaving Bowl & Semogue 2000 Pure Bristle
Leaf Twig (Prism) & RACER Super Stainless (2)
Mandate (Vintage Shulton era) Aftershave

As my month with sandalwood shaving soaps draws to a close, one final hurrah with TOBS and their sandalwood soap from the 2016-2024 period which is probably one of the best of the palmate-first formulations from the big British houses through the 2010s. Superb soap! Lovely lather!

Pretty much a 10/10 shave there, what with the lovely piggy and the RACER blade. Very much enjoyed!

Trust you're enjoying your weekend, fellows.

IMG_2962.jpegTerrific shave from what i would call an iconic razor.
When i first started this wet shaving journey i didn’t like the plastic part then i thought about getter’s the egress but stuff with this one and now its a firm favourite.
For me part of the charm is the plastic knob :geek:
This soap is weird,
I don’t get any the scents mentioned on the tub and for me it’s actually quite the opposite.
but i’m no perfumer in fact if the truth be told im bloody hopeless when describing scents.
What can i say about the brush apart from gash.
Really i love the idea of a company modelling brushes from the past but ffs give them a decent knot.
When it comes to PAA brushes there’s no handles i dislike but there’s no knots i like.
If you like floppy then these are for you.
I very much doubt you’ll get a floppier set of brushes.
Luckily the shave was magic and it got me away from Strictly come dancingIMG_2965.png
