That Island Man is great stuff, I'm working through a sample right now. Don't usually go for the frutier stuff, but love this scent.

Hot washcloth x2 with facewash instead of usual am shower prep, due to....
....mid-morning DHL arrival of SV Opuntia soap
Timeless 0.95 SB
Omega 49 boar
Polsilver (4)
WH and Myrsol green A/S for the win.
Might need to buy some more Fine Platinum A/S to pair with this similar soap. Shucks...

9/10 shave

My second SV soap after the delicious Felce and first impressions are very good - same instant stallar performance (though am soaking it to fill the remaining 1mm in it's tin), and great scent. Also loving the boars again, as with hard soaps they are outperforming my Paladin badger. That Omega really is crazy value at under £10 given the Paladin is over 10x more. Not quite 10/10 in the hope that the scent opens up even more with use and soaking.

The Thick as Thieves scent is much stronger than the Bay Rhum, and a very nice shave overall.
