Wednesday morning:

No-name "Imperial" DE w. Derby Extra (2)
Blindes Arbejde bubinga handle pure badger
Palmolive SS
Aqua Velva AS
Thayer's Witch Hazel
Anthony Razor Burn Repair

It's a nice looking old razor, but it is pretty mean to the skin, without actually given that close a shave, maybe an angle issue really. I rarely break out the Anthony these days, but for times like these I am glad I keep it handy.


Regards.

How does the Creed soap perform?

Click to expand...

I am one of those people that likes to try a soap in all the different permutations and combinations alongside all my razors, after shaves and creams with a little stubble and with a full-grown beard. So far I've only used it twice so I wouldn't get too excited about these comments:

- Scent is out of this world. The Creed Vetiver rocks. My brush smells of Vetiver 3 days after my last shave with it.
- Latherability is great but could be improved. It doesn't take much work, but something like Trumpers or Tabac doesn't usually take that many swirls to get it going. Once produced the lather is as slick as Tabac for sure.

I'll try and get a full review posted once I can say for sure that I've used this soap enough times.
