Friday SOTD

This RazoRock High Mountain White Silvertip continues to impress: looks, feels, and performs like a much more expensive brush. It's an excellent high-value piece of kit!

Guy -Nice can you tell us about Ghost Ship?

Ghost Ship from Beaver WoodWright is a Limited Edition run from Kelly Hogan and he is out of stock at the moment. Unknown if he is going to make another batch or not but it is a fantastic soap and the Aftershave aroma is even better. I used the soap for the first time and liked the Aftershave so much that I used it three times today; once after my shave and twice more when I had to go out and run some errands.

This is what Kelly states about this soap: Ghost Ship is a smooth blend of Sandalwood, Grapefruit and Black Amber blended in just the right proportions. Have to say his Black Amber is probably his own concoction and the aroma is not what I expected and hard to describe. Not a sandalwood aroma that one picks up such as AOS Sandalwood and you pick up some of the Grapefruit but I think it is his black amber that puts it over the top. As mentioned I wasn't too sure about the aroma when I opened the jar but once lathered up it was a different story and I really dig the aroma. I'm not the only one who likes it as Ghost Ship sold out quickly at all the vendor websites and BWW site. He made a small 2nd batch which I was able to snag one tub and one of the last 3 of his aftershave. Overall I am hooked on BWW shave soaps and now have eight in my den. Going to make next week a Beaver WoodWright week.
