    I recently mailed out a couple of smooshes of this soap to LG participants and decided to reacquaint myself with it this morning. Rose is not my go-to scent by any stretch of the imagination but for some reason, I really enjoy the scent of this soap. It’s not a cloying scent and it doesn’t have a sweetness that swings the scent toward grandma’s favorite perfume (not to be confused with the scent of Grandma’s pocketbook that Tabac is reminiscent of). Adding the rose-iness of Ocean Grove on top just adds to the goodness of soap’s scent. Performance-wise, this soap totally works for me. If I had to endure a ‘punishment’ similar to what u/EldrormR is going through by only using an MDC brain bowl, I have no doubt I could ‘suffer’ through it.

    On to a long ass day of meetings. Have a great day all!

    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Presto Shaving Soap
    • Brush: Omega 0146138 HI-BRUSH, 25mm Synthetic Shaving Brush
    • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable H3 (1962, 3rd Quarter)
    • Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (1)

    I’m seeing multiple SOTD threads for today, anyone else?

    I haven’t used the Slim in a while. I don’t mess with the setting as much as I thought I would when I first bought it. Mostly I just “set it and forget it”. Setting 5 seems to work best for me.
