Fantastic shave, my friend^!
SOTD:
So this showed today among other things, wanted to try it.
Dig the scent, it's low key compared to some of the B&M I have....smells like wood and peppermint, like advertised.
NOT as brutally cold as Arctique, and nowhere near as mentholated, not with real menthol anyway. No tears, no brutality, just a cold shave like B&M stated.
Great shave. Excelsior, but seemed thirstier for some reason...took me 3 passes adding water each time to get to where I am with Diamond in the 1st pass. I loaded this stuff like I hated it though, so maybe that's why.
Nice and cooling during the shave, and Will recommended applying the splash to a damp or wet face. This was about an hour ago, and it's still doing the job. I don't know what the synthetic menthol is, but it really works.
TNS brush, Timeless, 3rd on the Super Max.
10/10

Post.. Thayers Unscented and Brut Classic
Good DFS+ shave on head and face. Took 3 passes on both. Not near as efficient as my Timeless Titanium .95OC . Still smooth but requires more passes. Love the lavender scent. Good slickness. Haven't used it in months. The Brut Classic reminds me of my father. Leaves a nice scent and powdery feeling on the skin. I've used the Timeless Titanium .95OC so much it's my Gold Standard. Gonna be selling razors, brushes and software soon to fund a new Timeless Titanium .95OC Polished soon! Stay tuned!
I haven’t seen that soap in ages. I thought it must have been discontinued. I was always curious about it. I like lavender and it has such a distinctive presentation.Date : 17/07/19

I am a new one here, what was the metal stuff on the left? Looks like a metal house light.
