I put what's left of this soap away for the summer months, so as autumn sets in, now's the time to revisit it. The last couple of times I've reordered this discontinued soap, I've had to resort to buying from shops at far-flung corners of the planet. Just my luck that, of all the Noble Otter scents, they would have to abandon my absolute favourite. :( When it's gone, this time, I'm just going to move on.

A spendid shave today. I’ve recently realised I have particularly hard water, so I used a bottle of spring water for my lather today. The result was such an improvement I was compelled to post in lather shots. No SOTD photo because my simple mind can only comprehend one task at a time.

The Henson is still going strong, but I suspect it’s because the fixed angle is covering my inability to hold my other razors steady

Happy shaves boys
