Notes:
I got just a tiny bit left of Colleen’s ‘Super Soap’, as I liked to call it. Sad that Coleen and her ‘The Gentleman’s Quarter’ hasn’t been able to cater us ‘soap junkies’ recently with her magic stuff! I read on her FB that there is change to come but we have to be patient.

The 'Desert Iron Wood' of hers is something else. When I first got it, it really got my eyes watering as the scent shot my memory back to unknown eras of long time ago. I don’t know what it is she put in there but I like it good. I hope she can continue her shop soon, as I grant her all the business we can provide her. Not the least myself, as my wooden bowl is running out...

The shave was super smooth as her soap has a fabulous cushion and glide. Always remarkable to see that the texture of the suds is ‘dull’ as compared to every other soap I have with the more common glossy surface.

Colleen’s magic did her work and the W&B did the rest.

And I am here to tell you that if this is any indication, a picture is definitely worth a thousand words!

The Iron Duke paired well with some DRH Windsor and a Manchurian Rover to give me a wonderful two pass BBS!

Thanks for the thumbs up on the razor Bill, I'm really pleased to hear that the razor delivered BBS.
