Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Shaving Soap
Proraso Liquid Cream After Shave
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet EdT
The soap is slick and gives a very good protection but the lather is poor, it dissipates.
This is simply not good enough at that price - shame on you Penhaligon's
Apart from the poor lather, the shave was great - nice and comfortable and the Wostenholm delivered a complete BBS.
I'm now wearing a big (and smooth) smile
Have a nice and relaxing Sunday, Gentlemen

I believe Penhaligon's has a lot to answer for, selling soaps of this quality at the price they ask. If the BB is anything like the EF, then I know where you are shouting from, Soren! Even the bowls are advertised as the older version, not the plainer, newer ones. Great shot, by the way....I'm guessing the EdT is exemplary, if not the soap?
Some amazing shaves today gents. Great way to end the week![]()
The scent is great and I love the EdT, and this just makes the disappointment that much larger.
However, I've tried a little modification to the soap, as I have grated that and half a stick of Arko very fine and then mixed them really good adding a couple of tablespoons of water before putting in the microwave.
The PenArko is drying as we speak, and I will probably try it out tomorrow.
A pre-Halloween shave
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 24mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger
Razor: 6/8" ERN #525, Full Hollow Ground, Round Point
Honing (Refresh) regimen: Chosera 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k, followed by Y/G Escher w/ slurry (30 laps with each progressive dilution ending with 60 laps on water only)
Strop: 0/0/0 laps (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Shave "Pegasus III" Horse hide leather / Cordovan leather)
Soapreme: CarrieM "Dragon's Blood" Shave Creme + Haslinger "Honey" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS
After Shave Balm: Al's "Spicy Orange" ASB
Cologne: 1967 Guerlain Habit Rouge
Results: Bought this ERN in exquisite condition, from a member on B&B. A few laps around the Choseras last night really brought her edge back to life. Putting the finishing touches with the Escher was the icing on the cake. She was popping hairs with a vengeance and the shave was super smooth today
. I loved the slick lather from the soapreme too .![]()
