The Marlborough scent has been described as ...'warm, woody—think cedar/sandalwood, masculine..."
DR Harris derived the name from the English county of Wiltshire, an area of some English historical significance— despite the more modern affiliations often made of the name with American cigarettes.

 

Being a regular user of the product, I can vouch for the soap's 'awesomeness'...

 

I believe you have hit the descriptive nail on the head with this one!

 

Thank you =P I have wondered but never checked myself. I don't know why

 

It's gonna be a while for me to get to the MdC stage =P

 

Just think of the delayed gratification as an opportunity for you to try an even greater variety of soaps before you hit the BUY button on the MdC.

6/8 Joseph Rodgers & Sons Wedge, Hollow Point

Gold Bond Moisturizing Lotion
Statson Cooling Moisture ASL

The Joseph Rodgers is another 150 + years old razor that is an outstanding performer. I had to match it up with the TOBS this morning as it seemed very appropriate for this fine English blade.

 

I'm waiting for someone to say I'll smell like an old lady who just came from the barber shop.

 

You are on a roll with those oldie but goodies!

 

ha ha

 

Thanks Guy! The last four are in a special display on the wall of my bathroom (excuse me...my Shave Den) and hold a special place in my collection.

 

Try the No. 4711 EDC John. Some folks say it smells like "Granny Juice".

 

Thats the Biggest reason =P and that its pretty expensive

 

Everything about your shave says awesome! I love the look of your straight.

 

Thanks. The R41s are my favorites (2010, 2011 and 2013). I am stress testing the Astra blade. I am up to 14 days with this one blade so far. The Cade soap has really done well for me. The CMON I purchased from Lindyhopper and it is a wonderful shaver.

 

For some reason, auto-correct changes my 'the' into 'there' practically every time I type. I may have to begin using 'da' instead. Example: "Da Dubl Duck straight razor is the bestest one of dem all!"
