I can understand why @Gargravarr named Stirling Bergamot Lavender in top 5 desert island soaps. Not as strong a floral scent as I expected and reminded me of freshly squeezed lime juice

Well, bergamot EO is extracted from the rind of the fruit, hence the citrus note. When I first smelt this soap, I was mildly disappointed at how little lavender I could smell, but it is there, and the balance never fails to lift my mood. :love: I have never been one for after-shaves or perfumes, but I have made an exception with this one, and I'm waiting on a bottle of the EDT.

Needless to say, AusPost has reverted to form and appears to be sending this package via Widgiemooltha. Sigh... :rolleyes:

I have you to thank, BTW, for bringing this product to my attention. It had completely slipped under my radar.

A quick head/face shave with satisfactory results... Also finished yet another soap. :)
Happy shaves!
 
Soap: Noble Otter Two Kings
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather Pro (1)
Scuttle: Captain's Choice "Tempest"
Brush: Forgotten Art "Tarkine" 26mm Tuxedo



First time with the new razor. Much milder shave than I'm used to, but quite efficient. I've got a few different blades to try, but I have a suspicion I'm going to end up with the Pro Super as my default...
