SOTD "Italian Soaps" Theme Week 1-7 December 2014

[Chrisarelli]

Great photos, today, gentlemen! I hope you, all, have a magnificent day!


Chris (arelli) how do you like the Brown Windsor?

Thanks Celestino! The brown windsor is my first MW soap! I loved it! The scent is incredible and just strong enough throughout the shave. I had to do about 3 test lathers to get the soap just right, but after that I had an incredibly thick, slick lather. The post shave feeling was off the charts good! I must say I ordered it because of all the Mystic Waters SOTDs I've seen from you!

Another mild & damp morning, and another excellent shave. 30ºF/-1ºC @ 06:00, light snow and rain. 50ºF/10ºC this afternoon and clearing skies. The Packwood was smooth as glass and it's just plain ol' fun shaving with a 200 year old razor! Cella's aces, as always, and the reknotted Made Rite is fuzzy lil' lather makin' machine. All in all an outstanding way to kick off any Friday. Have a good 'un folks.

Wow, 200 years, that's an awesome razor!
All the Mach 3's will have disintegrated by 2214...

Excellent, Chris! Great to hear you are enjoying the soap! Wait until you try Sandalwood Rose, Jasmine, Irish Traveller, Vanilla Sandalwood, ................................
Michelle has some incredible scents and, now, you understand why this is, principally, my only soap.
