    Seriously, I am addicted to rose scent.
    Klar aside, i use Cyril Salter, Roseline (a Southafrican soap which seems to be a Klar clone) and an Italian artisan's croap, which, so far, is the very bestest fragrance I ever smelled.
    Of course, he seems too busy to keep on making them! :angry019:

    And I heard of another soap, whose name i do not remember now, which has been made on the Klar's formula, with a single variation in the INCI, but, due to the virus, I had not yet had the chance to test.

    If you want me to, I'll try to retrieve its name and shop.

    I haven't shaved this bad in a while and the only variation on this gear is the blade.
    Really weird: once these blades satisfied me: probably my technique was so poor that anything was an improvement.

    I'll do a cleanup among my blades, cross my heart!

    Or maybe I was in a hurry! The lather dried on my face for the first time and I had to re-lather!
    What a start to the day...

    Outstanding Milksteak Monday
    Close and comfortable take down of three days growth this morning. The lather and post shave feel are stellar and I love the scent of the splash.

    Menthol Monday's Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #408 2-band Badger
    Schick G3
    Personna
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #408 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick G3 with a Personna blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    My friend I also have Roseline from River Valley Trading and I love it. I remember when my dear friend Mohamed was telling me about that soap he was saying that the scent is supposed to be a close copy of the South African Williams stick which was discontinued a few years ago. I actually think the Roseline smells nicer than the Klar Kabinett! :)

    Have a great week!
