Thread: First shave with Penhaligons Blemheim Boquet

Well here it is. I have to say that I've never had a soap lather quite like this. The lather is so rich that it reminds me of Italian meringue. Creamy, dense, and with a luxurious sheen. Nicely slick. And the scent will blend with whatever aftershave you choose. I got a beautiful, smooth shave with it today. But then again I gave it all the help it might need by using one of my very best shavers - my Friodur 72. I finished with W.M. Neuman's Peppermint and Clove aftershave and some Em's balm. Expensive? Yes, but I fully expect that jar of soap to last a very long time. I'd say that both BB and MdC have a similar lather and may have to give the edge to MdC. I was a little stingy with the water as I usually am with soaps since its harder to correct when too much has been added. But once I got the lather dialed in, it was the best I've experienced to date. Impressive product. No regrets.

He will hand carry next trip to CA.

Where do you live? I'm in Virginia and for two jars, it quotes 24 euros.

If a friend is in Paris, have him also pick you up some Eau D'Emeraude. Just my opinion, but maybe the best aftershave in this plane of existence. Made from a 500 year old recipe by Benedictine nuns. Lightly scented and very healing.

funny how a thread on Penhaligons Blemheim Boquet became a fanboy thread of MdC....i agree though....mdc rocks!

for those that dont like the $60 pricetag....get their travel jar for $39 and if you dont like it...i'm sure someone would buy it on the BST section.
