My wife walked past while I was shaving and thought the soap smelt like coconut, whereas I can only really pick the vanilla, so I'm going to assume I wrote down the wrong name of this soap at the Perth GTG. Does anyone know the actual name of this soap because I can't find it? It's got the vanilla brown look to it anyway...

The second time around I got a better lather out of this one on the face this time. It's probably that I'm just not good at bowl lathering. A very good soap with a powerful scent... good slickness, good thickness, good post shave, good scent. But it's still a fine window between sufficient hydration and sufficient thickness, so it's not one I'll be buying.

It means you’re not patient enough to bowl lather, don’t bowl lather like a bloody Roadrunner with your brush. Be gentle with the brush while bowl lathering, because the lather will explode when you add water ;)

Yeah - I don't have time for that. Took me ages to beat the foam out of it when that happened...

Increase your speed a bit quicker not too fast when you’ve been chased by a bloody coyote between your hairy legs

It was a slightly cool & fresh day in Melbourne, so thought I might have one last shave with this soap, before it goes into hibernation. A bit too sweet & spicy "for me" to use over the warmer months, therefore it will go into storage & come back out in 5-6 months time. Today I was reminded how well this soap performs - if you did a blind test, you would think it has tallow. The Gillette Super Blue razor head is the cheapest I've ever purchased - just a little over AUD $4 from AE, but this is surprisingly very well made & also an excellent shaver. The fact I've been solely using this razor over the last 4 months speaks volumes. Have a great Friday everyone !!
 
More laziness today with no photo.

Pre- shower
Brush- Wild West Brushworks "Amethyst Water"
Soap- APR Bombora
Razor- Rockwell 6S R4
Blade- Vintage spoiler (4 and out)
Post- APR Bombora

The shave itself went very nicely and i'm fairly certain there is only 3 at most uses of the soap remaining. Once it was put into the wider tub, it seems to be getting eaten alive!

B&M - Cologne Russe
Noble Otter - Two Kings Splash

Nice cloudy morning with a comfortable 25 degrees. Took my 1 year old out for bit of play in the park before work.

Had a quick shave after that, but I got a great result in the end. The NO splash stings a little bit more than Barrister Reserve, maybe more alcohol content?
