The star of the show today was the Signature soaps "Eboracum", although i do enjoy a minty shave the Eboracum takes it that step further with the addition of Cedarwood and that makes it for me as i feel it reduces the "sweetness" of the scent. So much so i have made my own take on it with an Argan Oil lotion.
I had copious amounts of wonderful lather to protect my chin during the shave, a little goes far and the resulting lather is very very good.
3 passes for a BBS finish today.
A nice post shave leaving me feeling very refreshed.
Stay Safe and Enjoy your day All

This mornings shave was very much helped along by an enabling member in the other forum i frequent. I had enough soap and brushes to last a lifetime, however, when the A&E soaps and a Little Duke 2 went up for sale i willingly obliged, and very glad i did too.
So Up today was the the turn of the "Pamplemousse", i did not even know what a Pamplemousse was, so i was intrigued. I had also been thinking about a badger brush as i do enjoy using the Vintage bristle brushes i have, so that was also jumped on.
When the Brush arrived i completed a test lather after cleaning and loved it, so much so i also now have its bigger brother the Duke 3 in the brush stable, Oh when will it end?
So today's shave, i completed a brush loading of around 20 seconds as this brush is smaller than the Synth used yesterday, not as big a hit of scent from the off, but something familiar, a very nice easy face lather where i got more of a pleasant earthy, herbal note but there is definitely some floral notes in the back ground, all in all very nice, what is it?.
A wonderfully slick, thick chin covering ready for the Vector.
2 passes and a little buffing, the brush holding enough to complete the shave. I could feel the blade going off towards the end so i have banked it.
I had a nice post shave, starting with great post shave slickness from the soap, a quick cold splash and then to the balms, what to use? i still could not put a finger on the floral note, i decided on the Barts B&V and finished with some Vintage 4711.
All very nice but not quite a match for the soap.
BBS feeling and smelling good.
It got the better of me and i had to look up what scent was in this soap, as soon as i read the description it twigged, Rose, i thought i did not like rose? well i do now.
The A&E soaps worked well for me as does the D2, thanks again Chris.

Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
