L'Homme by Roger et Gallet for a Touch of France

[guenron]

Gents,
If the following fragrance sounds like something you would enjoy:

L'Homme Roger & Gallet, an original and rare perfume that never ceases to amaze. Its fresh, citrus head notes created by a harmony of mint, juniper berry and ylang ylang is sustained by woody notes enriched with spice and amber.

try this delightful shaving soap.
Available in this really exquisite wooden bowl:

The fragrance and lather are as good or better than any of the Three T's:

Get up close and sniiff!

Cool pics.... I will have to try that soap some day - sounds mighty interesting... now - where did you get that cool soap dish in the background?

Well, I finally got around to trying the Roger & Gallet L'Homme, and after 2 days it's already becoming one of my favorites. I like a slick lather, and the R&G is as slick as the best of them--T&H, Floris, L'Occitane (we're talking soaps here, BTW), and (on my face) much slicker than the DR Harris soap. Another nice aspect of this soap is that it feels like it's moisturizing my face while I shave. Quite a feat considering that I have very dry skin (accutane).

One word of caution: the R&G is a fragrant soap, to the point where it smells like we now have an air freshener in our bathroom. Fortunately, my wife likes the fragrance, so this isn't an issue for us, but it could have been. The odd thing is the fragrance is less noticable in the wet lather than it is in the dry soap sitting in the bowl.

Let me close with a thank you to Ron for giving a heads-up on this fine shaving soap!
