Same thing happened to me with Glastonbury. One thing I noticed was that once I lathered up, it started to mellow a bit towards what I was used to. By the time I was done with the shave, it was more like the Glastonbury I got as a sample. Don't know if that's the case with your Baker Street. Hopefully it turns out that way; like you said... signature scent material there.
John, Mr. Cawtuh's shave report style takes me back to a TV ad in the Boston area in the late 60's...wish I could remember what for, but I recall some of the lyrics: Is there anyone else in the whole human race With your kind of style, your kind of grace? Then it ends with There's nobody else exactly like you Nobody else like you.
The weather decided to start acting like January again, and all this cold and snow has me using Coniferous. THREE days in a row in fact! I’ve used Lil Brudder each time too. It’s one of the very easiest to whip up a perfect yogurt with.
Birthday shave today: Razor: 1954 Gillette Super Speed (My birthday quarter Z 1) Blade: Astra SP Brush: Stirling 2 band finest badger with fan knot Soap: Stirling Tsuka (BoS) A/S splash: Stirling Tsuka (BoS) First time I used my birth quarter razor and quite liked it. The handle is smaller and thinner than I am used to but I like smaller handles. I'll have to give this razor some more run.
Happy Birthday, John. I don't blame you for featuring your report on that special razor. May it be safe to presume, though, that your failure to comment on the BoS was because you took it for granted it would be great, anyway???
You are right (as usual) Paul. The fact that I used it for my birthday shave and that I have praised it so heavily in this thread, I hope tells you that I love the stuff. Thank you for the birthday wishes Paul.
Oh it does, John. Mine is almost ready to be put up on my "Lazy Susan". You'll know when it's there .
