Star of the show was the shave soap made in the UK which was new to me. I saw it was called Dave and the scent seemed to be in my wheelhouse so.....I would call it a Croap as it's soft but not to the point of a cream. It loads easy and takes water well and took to a nice sour cream consistency. The scent is nice and fresh and described by the maker (I agree) below:

The inspiration behind ‘DAVE’ comes from our founder’s father David, a great source of inspiration at Løthur. This was a man who was seldom found without a cup of the ‘good stuff’ in hand (English breakfast tea) and was rarely seen out of his sacred space, the back garden. David grew giant lilies, creeping jasmine, tall sweet peas and vibrant iris flowers.

DAVE opens with light, citrusy and fruity top notes, reminiscent of Darjeeling tea. It has a soft jasmine accord at its heart and is perfectly rooted with notes of assam and powdery iris root.

Have a Stupid Fun Day Folks !

You aren't kidding about the description. I'm not usually one for florals but that sounds like a great fragrance. The lather shot also doesn't disappoint.

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap
Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
Ever-Ready 1924
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready 1924 Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I really enjoyed watching your video and seeing what angle you are holding the razor at. I haven't used this razor yet but I normally stay pretty shallow with GEMs. I feel like I have a much better idea of how to use this one now. And before I forget, I always get a kick out of you "beaming" yourself.
