MDC Lavender with TOBS Rose has become one of my favorites. The scent is magnificent and the lather superb.

 

Thanks Clint. I have had my ups and downs with MW soaps; specifically with the scents. When choosing a scented soap, my tastes run towards the natural, basic, unadulterated scents, which is why I really appreciate Mike's, and Jabonman to name a couple. MW soaps are great performers and I always get a great shave with them. The Vetiver & Oakmoss is very pleasing. Woodsy, but not moldy; earthy but not musty. Some artisans shy away from true vetiver, similarly shying away from Sandalwood. (Cost is probably a factor). The results may be pleasing to many shavers, but to my nose, no longer have much to do with the base scent. Michelle at MW has come up with a terrific recipe and if you like MW soap and vetiver, you should be very pleased with this soap as well.

 

Thank you for such a detailed well written description.

 

Shave of the day

Pre- Hot shower, Jumping Juniper shampoo cake from Lush
Soap/cream- Proraso green tea and oat
Brush- Proraso boar
Razor- WEBER polished head all stainless steel
Blade- Personna Lab Blue(2)
Post- Cold water rinse, Humphreys witch hazel, Lucky tiger Bay rum and Vitru Age combat aftershave balm

Nice shave with Proraso, @tuxxdk I want this soap now, but I’m freezing all purchases for a long time. I wanna thin the heard a little.

Personna blades are great! Weber razor awesome and Proraso boar amazing!

 

Great picture.

 

Very cool Schick....

Am I seeing things or is that brush being held up by the thickest lather ever??

SATURDAY
Quiet, leisurely-morning shave; chilly 40°F outside, so switched to a hot water shave. It's getting to be time to break out there scuttle these frosty mornings!
Have a great Saturday, all!

 

today's shave
hot water wash with nuetrogena men's invigorating face wash and a washcloth
Rubberset 400/ whipped dog silvertip
Soap Commander inspiration
Dovo Pearlex 5/8 full hollow round end
pinaud lime sec
today's shave was nice. incoming rain, short days, got me missing summer already. the inspiration smelled and performed nicely. three passes with the Pearlex, very close, hopefully comfy. it's been a while since I used a straight,I fear I may be a little heavy handed. finished with lime sec.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

I didn't think you had any left of the Proraso White. Performance is great.

I like your razor

 

Back to the Schick Type D again. So easy to work with. I shined it up a little more last night so I had to shave with it today.
