    Thanks, Gary.
    My understanding is the soaps are done with a special collaboration with certain soap makers. This one with Grooming Dept, and I believe also Talbot Shaving and Cutting Edge Soaps.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #313 Badger
    Maggard Slant Razor
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Granddad's Blend AS

    The Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #313 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Maggard Slant Razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Superb Soap!
    Wow. This was the first time I've used products from Story Book Soapworks and I'm sold. The lather belongs in the conversation with more heralded artisans. It loaded effortlessly on my Lutin and built into slick excellent lather almost instantly. There was plenty of residual slickness for touch-up work, and the post shave feeling is silky smooth. The splash is alcohol free and soothing. The scent is like the end of a bonfire on a beach - slightly salty and smoky - I really like it. The scent is medium strength to my nose. The best part is that all the proceeds go to support social justice! I'll be buying more soon!

    It is, and too much came out this morning :-(. I thought only Aqua Velva had that problem. I guess we can now say there is "skin" under my Mennen Skin Bracer today!!

    This autumn day led me to use a soap with an autumn fragrance: here the sky is gray and we have 16°C.
    The shaving was good, as usual!
