As my stock of soaps dwindles to a more manageable level (I'm a minimalist), I find I have more time to spend with the ones I really love. At the very top of that list is Yardley. Regardless of whether or not some of these ancient soaps have much scent left (I'm saving my beyond-price preciousss Black Label till last), they still provide the most perfect shave of all.

SOTD – SUN.29SEP2024
Shave Report: Catie’s Bubbles soap makes awesome rich creamy medium density lather from a straight forward vegan recipe with excellent lather performance. To my nose the lather scent is a fresh slightly sweetish aromatic with some florals, certainly reminiscent of some 1990s aquatic cologne memory, scent strength 4/10. Awesome clean, smooth, close shave from the Overlander.
The Gear:
- Pre Shave: Imperial Glycerine Soap for Shave/Face
- Brush: APShave Co “Ivory&Rosegold Flecks” with 26/56 Synbad knot
- Soap: Catie’s Bubbles - ‘95 Liquid Labels
- Bowl: Yaqi Ceramic Blue “Duke”
- Razor: Karve Aluminium Overlander (Weight - 38gm with blade; Blade Gap - 0.73mm; Blade Exposure - 0.07mm; Handle - 90mm/12.5mm)
- Blade: Gillette Platinum, made in Russia (4)
- Astringent: TN Dickinsons Witch Hazel with T.Tree oil & Menthol Crystals
- Balm: Nivea Men Sensitive Pro Anti Skin Stress Facial Balm
- After Shave Splash: Blue Stratos AS
- Moisturiser (Later): Nivea Men - Anti-Irritation AS Lotion
