    Norseman misunderstood Dark Lord of the Sith

    Wednesday 09.09.2015

    I traded a bar of Klar Kabinett with a bar of Dusy Kabinett with Mr @Primotenore a short while back

    As most of you know Klar Kabinett was a German soap of excellent quality that was sold by the pound for right around 20 euros or so. It was discontinued in 2014 I believe and was quickly sold out. I even bought a full kilo myself.

    The soap was "flavoured" with a nice rose scented, but as Bette Midler has pointed out on more than one occasion, every rose has its thorn. And for me the Klar Kabinett could have a vicious sting to it

    Enter the Dusy Kabinett Soap. It is very similar, has more or less the same scent, is sold by the pound and according to online sources lathers and feels identical to the Klar soap. It is not known if it is the same soap, a clone, a sibling or just a distant relative. The ingredient list is similar, but apparently there are some differences.

    And that is what I am more or less what I am looking for in this shave. Since my reaction to Klar Kabinett is seldom a positive one, I was hoping there was enough of a difference that I could enjoy the Klar Kabinett shave without the Klar Kabinett hangover.

    I was considering using it as a shave stick, or a two by four as the case would be, but opted for bowl lathering instead. I wanted more control over the lather building process, and I think that was a wise choice.

    I loaded the brush for about fifteen seconds and started building the lather. The familiar Kabinett scent filled the room and the lather was creamy and delicious. Transferring the brush to the face was an absolute joy. No sign of irritation or burning at all and the shave was very enjoyable.
    The razor and blade cut through my two day stubble like nothing. The lather felt very slick and protective, no sign of either malice or ill will.

    I will need to use it further to determine if I can include it in my regular rotation. I am also tempted to lather up both the Dusy and the Klar and use them side by side.
    I will have to consider that for a later shave.

    As a reward I treated myself with a few drops of La Toja. It is not so bad despite having the same name as a lesser known member of the Jackson family. Luckily it is less of a Thriller than its namesake. If it where, I would just tell her to beat it. I have enough of a problem with the man in the mirror to worry about that smooth criminal.

    Razor: Edwin Jagger de89
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
    Brush: Proraso Boar Brush
    Soap: Dusy Kabinett
    Aftershave: La Toja

    Great review and here's to no more thorns with the roses!
    BTW, for a Norseman, your English is terrific.

    Dove Men Face Wash
    TOBS Grapefruit Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip
    Schick J2
    Personna SS
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Aqua Velva

    The TOBS Grapefruit Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip Badger brush. Two passes with my Schick J2 razor and a Personna SS Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Soap: Knock Out Shave Cool Blue
    A/S: Pinaud Musk
    Day 9
    First time using a vintage strop, that is the original strop. It sure helped a lot to sharpen the vintage Valet New Process Blade. 2 Passes with the Valet and a cleanup with the Gillette. DFS this evening. The KnockOut Shave soap being a very good soap, they also leave enough room at the top of the container to allow you to whip up GREAT lather and not get it all over the counter top.:happy096:

    Please, please, please guys - after tomorrow I promise to use something else besides a Glacial soap, but for Thursday I need that freeze to be happy because it's still quite warm here. The Obsidian soap is just the ticket for a splendid and bone-chilling shave. It gives such superb lather, I'm in love with the black liquorice scent, and there's two, perhaps even three boatloads of menthol in it. The matching balm is also packed to the brim with that same scent and frigid sensation. I love the Penguin also for its nice scent, and it delivers a damned cold smack! ;) :D

    I hadn't had enough coffee this morning. The strop is Horse leather and linen, and I did 20 laps on each before the shave, and 10 laps on each after the shave.

    Great vintage products. I inadvertently ruined my NOS Fuller amber brush while trying to pull the original nylon knot.
