Post: Witch hazel, RazoRock Blue Barbershop aftershave

Woohoo! I have my own Hussy razor now thanks to a prize from @Screwtape and the last TSD raffle. Great shave with it today. This RazoRock soap is the real deal as well. Top notch all around. Have a great day!

 

wow! !!!!! everything here is perfect, possibly the COOLEST SOTD pic I have ever seen, is this soap a drakkar scent? I need it, I am a sucker for old school pinups

 

Friday night shave with a Schick 66 and a Personna 74 on 4th shave. perfect. ...

 

I'm flattered. Thanks!

Long answer: Back in the day, Mickey Lee Soapworks' "Pantie Dropper" was indeed a straight dupe of Drakkar Noir. Unfortunately, there were reports of reactions to the fragrance oils as well as complaints of weak scent strength. As a result, it was discontinued.

In 2017, MLS did an exclusive set for the TSM (The Shave Market) Facebook group called "Agora Xyrisma" (Greek for "shave market"). Agora Xyrisma was a re-working of "Pantie Dropper" thereby becoming the in-house blended homage to Drakkar Noir (instead of a straight clone). Agora Xyrisma's scent strength was boosted, too.

The new "Pantie Dropper" was just recently released, and you should be seeing a flood of SOTD pics featuring it since the initial shipments are coming in. It should be noted that this new iteration of Pantie Dropper is just a relabeled Agora Xyrisma, but instead of being a TSM limited edition, Pantie Dropper is now part of Mickey Lee Soapworks' permanent line-up.

In short: The original Pantie Dropper was a Drakkar Noir clone and was discontinued due to skin reactions and weak scent strength. Mickey Lee Soapworks blended a new fragrance that closely resembles Drakkar Noir, but it's an homage instead of a clone. This new scent was introduced on a limited basis for a Facebook group and was called "Agora Xyrisma". I was then re-labeled "Pantie Dropper" and released to the masses.

As to how Agora Xyrisma / Pantie Dropper (v2) compare to Drakkar Noir: Casual Drakkar Noir fans will accept it as a clone, but in reality, it's a bit more complex than Drakkar Noir with more depth and a bit more of a fir push.

Pre: Cold water face wash,
Brush: Vulfix 404 Badger/Boar
Soap: Eufros Rosa Bourbon
Razor: Blinged Up Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: Treet Super Carbon
Post: Cold water rinse, Rose of Bulgaria ASL

My Postman was busy yesterday, some carbon blades from @wchnu (thanks fuzzy) and my polished Sabre from a very talented member on a UK forum.
I'm chuffed to bits with the finish on the Sabre. Does it shave any better? No, but it's already one of my favourite razors and I wasn't trying to improve its performance, I just wanted to bling it up and James certainly did that.
The carbon Treets were as smooth as silk from the off and left my skin feeling the same way.
Here's hoping you enjoy your Sunday.

Almost 24 hours later my face is still almost bbs, I only feel a little stubble when going atg. It was a comfortable smooth three pass shave that was followed with a splash of the Razorock Barbershop Blue AS. It was a great start to what turned out to be a great day.

Outstanding! Love the Hussy!

Sorry so long to comment. Finally caught a full weekend off work! Glad they made it. The grey vault has 5 PAL Supers!

Just a outstanding set up there. How strong is that soap? Love TOBS but never tried that one.

 

Great shave today! The Kapo is from Bulgaria another one from @Z-2. I love the scent and performance. I now have 4 Bulgarian creams in tubes. They are great.

The TOBS Peppermint is just a notch below medium on the face freeze scale. It's not super cold, but it's cold enough.

Razor: Cobra Classic
Blade: Schick Proline P
Post: Cold water rinse, 4711 ASL

My first go with a Noble Otter soap and I enjoyed it, good cushion and slickness and maybe the residual slickness would've been there if I'd added a bit more water initially.
Post shave was also good but I'm definitely going to push the water next time to see if it gets better.
The scent on the other hand is an eleven, pity we can't get the splash over here.
Happy Shaving one and all.
