    If your a vetiver lover, as I am, this is just an amazing soap. I'd like to thank my friend moz68 for this along with a tub of B&M Levithan which is very appealing to my nose too. Very nice shave this morning. Have a good one. BTW, I've heard a rumor of another brush give away for the Christmas season too.

    The Paco Rabanne pour homme is a vintage 1970's EdT. A very nice fall winter scent. Some people would say it's an old timey scent.

    I just search for fougere(green/fresh) scents and fresh scents with menthol. I spend too much time on shaving forums finding out about this stuff...for what little I know. I just know what my nose likes.

    My 3rd (or 4th?) shave with this big Wostenholm. It's really a pleasure to use… :love055: … but I'm probably repeating myself. :o[​IMG]

    Everything about this shave rocked. The blade was fantastic and the lather was simply incredible. These two go together well creating a scent that is to die for

    Lou, quite smooth, actually. :)
    I took Glen's advice of finishing it on the escher hone. I mentioned in the SOTD thread how light and maneuverable this blade was compared to those big Sheffields I've been using lately.
    Overall, I'm happy to add this new keeper to the rotation! :happy088:

    5/8 Bismarck Razor Works

    Nice shave from a bone handled old Bismarck. It still has a blued tang, I have a couple of these. A classic German blade, IMO. Have a good one.
