This one is amongst the BEST (if not "THE" best) English soap I have tried so far. Bar none !!!!


Have an INCREDIBLE Sunday guys.

Great shot Robert. As Always!!
I've been curious about the C and S 88 for ages, but for some reason I have never bought it.
This description does not still the flame

I'm off to London in July, I can see a trip to Jermyn Street on that trip
Thanks for the vivid description Robert!

Prep: Hot shower - followed by Proraso pre-post-shave cream
SC: Acqua Di Parma “Crema Soffice Da Pennello”
Brush: Rooney 3-2 faux Ebony “Silvertip Badger”
Strop: No strop today… Razor “shave ready.”
Razor: 5/8” G. Wostenholm & Son
Astringent: Dickinson’s Witch Hazel
ASB: Chanel (Paris) “Pour Monsieur”
Cologne: Acqua Di Parma
Result: Who hoo! A shave worth celebrating…

This Wostenholm, which I snagged from my favorite ebay seller, is a sweet shaver. Combined with the Acqua Di Parma shave cream, my beard ran up the white flag from the moment the blade touched my face.

Have a great Sunday gents... I most certainly will.

I honed this up last night. I recieved a Very nice BBS shave 3 passes. I believe i can bring the edge up a notch. I also recieved a sample of the Shave den. I used it with L"Occtaine. This gave me a fantastic lather. Have a great day guys

I finished the scales for this razor a couple days ago, although Im not really happy with them and will prob thin them down a little in the near future. As for now this razor gave me a fantastic shave, mixed the Dr.Harris Soap I was in heaven. Another relaxing shave to start my day off.
