    Like I was telling the guys on the gut-rasiert.de forum just before this shave was enough to leave me speechless because I enjoyed it so much. The Gin & Tonic on the Rocks soap gave me tons of rich, slick, lovely-scented lather and its awesome menthol sensation as well as perfect skincare. The Alcolado Glacial splash left me frozen solid to make this 90 degree heat so much more bearable!

    Enjoy your Sunday, my friends!

    Guy, can I assume that the Kölnisch soap is based upon the 4711 Eau de Cologne?

    I get a mild citrus/floral scent from it. The menthol is very pleasant and not eye watering. I smell the cherry and musk in there too. Im not great at describing scents but I do like it.

    Razor: Flic 6/8
    Brush: Jayaruh #189 wth maggards synthetic knot.
    Lather: Gentleman's Hardware/Proraso
    AS: Gentlemen's Hardware Sandalwood
    EDC: Arden's Sandalwood

    The GH cream is brushless, but makes a really nice slick base for the Proraso. I recently built and installed new scales on the Flic straight. This is one laser sharp blade and holds an edge forever. Three passes and caught the baby. Oh, and my 12 yo granddaughter picked the soft goods for today:)

    Stirling MITA today. 20 seconds to load the RR/Zenith Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Wilkinson Sword “Light Brigade” in the Slim. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Stirling Executive Man w/Menthol aftershave.

    A much needed shave, the Hawk mowed down 4 days of growth like it was nothing. RazoRock P.160 is wonderful, since they tweaked the formula I've had no irritation.

    Not exactly. Kölnisch has oak mass, Patchouli and Petitgrain which gives it a darker, citrus woodsy aroma. My Grandfather had a couple of lemon, lime, grapefruit trees in his backyard and the aroma of this soaps reminds me of the leaf aroma off these trees when I use to rub them to get the oils off the leaves. I really like this soap, easy to lather though a thirsty one, slick lather and excellent post shave feel. Top five for sure in my Den and I have tried more than my share of soaps.

    4711 would pair well with this one

    I used the MITA yesterday and I enjoyed it so much. The Gin & Tonic on the Rocks has that same menthol effect, same awesome lather and skincare, just a different scent which I think is so gorgeous!

    My friend Justin Wastell made this shave possible. I am always blown away with the generosity of the shaving community I love the scent of Bon Vivant, and the L&L lather is top notch in every respect. The CL website suggests Lavanille as a pairing and I could not agree more.
    Prep: Chattilon Lux Butter
    Soap: L&L Bon Vivant
    Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
    Razor: Rockwell 6s R6
    Blade: voskhod
    AS: B&M Lavanille[​IMG]

    Is there a link to the homemade lemon lime chill?

    It's something I put together over a year ago. My hard drive died and my"formula sheet" with the final ingredient ratios could not recovered. I have tried to replicate but not as slick as this original batch.

    I can send you my base list and you can choose the oils best for you on the list and play around with the EO and menthol crystals
