WWR
Aqua Velva Ice Blue A/S splash

Knize Ten EdT

My 10ml sample spray bottle of Knize Ten leaked all over my dopp kit bag... which is for me, but now is for my dopp bag! I managed to get the last little bit out and use it today.

 

Sorry to hear that Jeff, do you think the Lothentique could have been the cause was this your first use of the soap ? I tend to have sometimes similar experiences when trying out something for the first time then you dont know how the product responds so your water ratio might be off.

 

it's hard to say, Rene, I think it could be that perhaps it's time to change the blade. As a rule, I get 2 super-close shaves with a blade, but then after that, the blade tends to lose its sharpness. This Lothentique soap is pretty good, it was my first time using it, I find it leaves my skin feeling very clean, but it perhaps could use a little more fragrance.

 

Monday:

Brush: Rooney Emillion
Soap/Cream: Trumper Coconut Soap
Razor: Merkur Progress (“Mergress”) / Dorco
Other: Moss-Bonnyman Scuttle
After shave: Thayer’s Rose Witch Hazel; Nivea Sensitive AS Balm
Scent: Penhaligon’s Castile EdT

I liberally loaded and slathered the Emillion with the Trumper Coconut soap. Mmm....thick, latherific goodness!
