I've lost track of how many tubs of NO2K I've been through. No doubt this will be the last. I'm still trying to place the scent that I'm sure I've encountered in the dim and distant past. Penhaligon maybe? :unsure:

Now there is an endorsement I'd put money on - adds Barrister and Mann Fougère Gothique to must have list
Wait on Maggards have stock - itchy trigger finger - S.A.D clouds judgement - Gothique on left shoulder "you need MOAR and I am the best" - Angelique on right shoulder "you have ENUFF but I am so good"
How can a mere mortal resist?

An amazing shave. Vintage wedge lather catchers are fantastic. Thanks for the push down the rabbit hole @Sticky.
The blade for this honed up with the most satisfying edge.

Hmmm, the PdP63 is a very nice scent indeed. Pity the soap didn't agree with my skin. One day I might have a go with their Bergamot & Thyme. Another veg soap for the list I believe... :unsure:
