The Morning Shave.
The Crystal Blade was in my c1950’s Vintage Gillette British Rocket FlareTip today.
5th use on this blade. Head & face shave very smooth.
Still getting a very good daily shave from this blade.

Soap: Martin De Candre Fougere

Scent notes:
The scent is very light and delicate. Almost green, woody, floral.
This soap is made in France. Produces a very good lather, easily with minimal product. Plenty of slick protection.
I can’t pick the actual scent, it’s very nice and light not too strong.

Glad you like the MdC. I've been using the Original for a couple of years, and I'm about halfway through the jar. And hopefully I've got a jar of the Rose arriving tomorrow. I've had samples of that a couple of times, so I know I like it, a light natural rose scent. I've been planning to take next year as a break from shaving purchases, but I've been promising myself this one for years.

I load lots of product, but those jars are packed so full (up to the very top), so they last for ages anyway.

The Morning Shave.
The Viking Blade was in my 1961 Vintage Gillette Adjustable FatBoy today.
5th use on this blade. Head & face shave with no irritation or drag. No weepers.
This Viking blade is going strong.

Soap: Barrister and Mann – Bay Rum
Scent notes:
Rum, sweet orange, cinnamon, vanilla.
The scent is quite full with a distinctive Spicy Bay Rum feel. Excellent lather produced from a very small amount. Creamy slick protection.
Bay Rum may not be everyone’s scent; I did like the scent its masculine and warm.
A very enjoyable shave.

I am really starting to like this bore brush with the Wholly Kaw puck soap. The bore brush just doesn't seem to work that well for me using cream and stick soaps.

The Morning Shave.
The Crystal Blade was in my Vintage Gillette British Rocket HD today.
The Rocket HD is a great daily razor, often overlooked with other Vintage Gillette’s.
6th use on this blade. Head & face shave with no irritation or drag. No weepers.
This will likely be the last shave of this blade, although no tugs or irritation, I do feel the edge is diminishing.

Soap: Barrister and Mann – Fougere Classique

Scent notes:
Lavender, Oakmoss, Coumarin, Bergamot, Geranium, Jasmine, Patchouli, Musk and Vanilla.
The scent is really nice, 6/10 strength.
I got the forward notes of Bergamot and lavender while whipping the lather.
It is a sophisticated scent as you may guess with the formula ingredients.
Rich floral that stays with you the whole shave.
The lather was as expected, rich, creamy with plenty of slickness.

A little does go a long way.
