SOTD Tabula Gratulatoria - January 2012

[Blix]

Between you and me, Marco, you need to have a gentle word in his ear and persuade him to produce more of that LE Lavender! And if he can put some tallow in it at the same time, I'll buy the whole lot!!!!

Count me in! I have to admit my Valobra Menthol is my least used soap at the moment.. It's nice but....

 

[Blix]

Love those scales, Amund. It looks as if you left that Friodur outside overnight suffering from frost bite!

Hehe it's scales that is just right for cold Norway for sure!

The lack of text was simply so as not to cause any confusion about what I used today, David. Can you tell which range of products/my theme was?

The Arlington was good. I must admit that, as is normal the first time you use a soap, my water ratio was not perfect. That said, the scent was quite nice, and I got a very good shave. My skin felt very nice after the shave and the Arlington AS Milk added a nice touch. The cologne is not my favorite, but for price I wasn't expecting the height of sophistication there. I'm thinking I may keep with Arlington for a few days, though, to get a chance to really learn the soap...

Bill, is this your first Harris soap? I was sure you had the Almond but I may be mistaken. I know what you mean about the cologne. I like it, but it's slightly different from the soap scent.

It's not my first Harris soap. I have both the Almond and the Lavender, but I rarely use soaps on their own (I tend to uber). This morning, though, I wanted to stick with the pure Arlington experience. My lather collapsed a bit on my face during the first pass, so I reloaded and face lathered the second pass. That did the trick!

Yes it did - but then again I have never been one of the Williams bashers, I like it.
I got the water ratio a bit off, a fault of my own, so I'll use again tomorrow.

Stunning, my friend!

Another fine close-up this week, Marco! As good as the soft soaps from Valobra are, there's no denying this stick is on a higher level altogether.
