IF, you can't get what you want, grab all the APR shaving soaps as much as you can.

Well, highly unlikely I like them all. Raconteur, for instance, I like but I really wouldn't get on my knees for it. The rest of them..... Still yet to try them.

SOTD – 5 JUNE 2022

Sunday Queen’s Platinum Jubilee shave using Mitchell’s Wool Fat (MWF) soap and the Edwin Jagger (EJ) DE89 razor. Locally (Aus) MWF is available for AU$18.95 per 125g puck and given that I consider triple milled soaps at least twice the efficiency (ie value) of a standard Artisan soft soaps then MWF is “Awesome” Bang-for-Buck value of 7.6 AU cents/gm.

Shave Result: Previously with MWF I would bloom soap, load the brush and then build lather, but today I used soap scrapings (about 1.5g) pressed into my bowl and performed my standard non-blooming bowl lather build method : “dry soap+damp brush+add spray water slowly” which quickly produced a lovely medium density lather that was slick, protective and good residual, even the post shave was great, I rate MWF a solid Tier 2 soap. MWF scent to me is just a pleasant soapy aroma. The EJ DE89 gave a lovely smooth, mild but efficient, clean and irritation free DFS, a very enjoyable shave.

How do you like Plunder?

How do you like Plunder?

It's alright, don't love it like I used to. The soap is dead and they have discontinued it, but there is plenty of splash left.

I was thinking of getting the splash only to go with Bay Rum soaps. Will wait and see..

Good morning

Nice. I love Eau Sauvage, even though I don't feel I can wear it myself. It's been my Dad's "signature" scent for almost as long as I can remember, and I don't trample on his turf.

+1 for the Hydro Boost gel, if only it wasn't so expensive for such a little tub but then again a little goes along way.

not only does a little go long way but applying too much leaves your skin feeling greasy. Just a touch and the jar lasts a very long time

also pays to shop around.. its currently $25 at chemist warehouse (usual price) but only $15 at price line atm
