    I still think a better bowl would have added value to this soap....
    Even one like the one from Cella, which sells for very little money.
    But, perhaps, what I really like is its scent: a leap back in time, when I was a child and this was, more or less, what I smelled in the perfumeries where I accompanied my my mother.

    I was fascinated by all those little bottles, some, as I would discover later, by Lalique that continue to fascinate me as they did then.
    Beautiful...

    Also beautiful is the essential razor design, one of the few modern ones I have.

    And Etta James looked great in it.

    Stunning shave and photo Amigo. Love the brush.

    Thank you Doug. I love Mike's soaps. They just flat work for me. This Vetiver is just a straight forward Haitian Vetiver without any smoothing down. It has a wonderful earthy smoky scent. If you like vetiver you'll like it. If you don't like vetiver then I would pass this one by. Another one to consider is Mike's Orange, Cedar & Black Pepper. It is a fantastic scent that I will certainly buy again.

    Tabac Tuesday with both Tabac soap and Aftershave. Lathered with the classic JR 177 brush and shaved with the King C Gillette razor and blade. [​IMG]

    After 14 years of this, after $$thousands$$, and after all the wonderful shaving experiences, perfect shaves, outstanding scents, textures, and 'hairsplitting' differences between everything.
    This shave is in my top 3.
    a Van Der Hagen puck
    a $10 boar
    a 60 cent blade
    a $3 splash
    and whatever razor that has efficiencies that match your mug
    Absolutely stupendous shave with a post shave that lasts into tomorrow.
    WTF
    lol
