I'm glad to see you clearly don't hate your new Yardley acquisitions. :) Interesting how every puck of it smells a bit different, according to how it's been stored...

This vintage razor set is amazing quality. I don't know if there is any connection to the double edge Darwin.
The case has a spare blade, double sided strop and an ingenious stropping mechanism.
I was initially concerned the blades could be rusty. [The listing images were 50/50] but on arrival and introduction to my hones the edge is wonderful.
Despite the word "safety" on the container it is a straight razor on a stick. Care needs to be taken.
The style of this razor is very similar to the Rolls razor posted recently by @Sticky.

Hi Speedy, definitely not baseballers sweaty jock strap or any of the other weird scents going around

As quoted @ https://paste-and-cut.com.au/community/threads/shave-of-the-day-thread-2021.6618/post-177682

The soap Ariana & Evans -Tibetan Temple. Scent is medium to strong off the tub and medium, for the splash. Scent Notes, Tobacco leaf, honey, iris, sandalwood, amber, musk, frankincense, myrh, smoke, rose, patchouli, Himalayan cedar and hay. This is a beautiful masculine dark refined woody oriental scent which could be used as an evening scent anytime of the year or for colder weather.

To me as I have a fairly wide variety of A&E soaps, it smells very similar to about 1/2 a dozen other soaps that have a similar dark sweet oriental type accord. (Khalifa, Chasing the Dragon, Amber Rose, Revolution, Grecian Horse, Novelist, Vanille de tabac, The Club) If you could take the best elements from the scents of those soaps and combine them together, this is what Tibetan Temple is.
This is 100% two thumbs up from me on the the soap and splash .(y)(y) I may like it more than Khalifa and Grecian horse.

Actually @SpeedyPC despite its sweet and fruity oriental scent I'm afraid I will be moving it on because there is something that irritates my eyes

I’m still on paternity leave for another 4.5 months but in an effort to still add value to my workplace I occasionally bring the baby in and distract everyone from their work- truely, I’m an asset.

Since I’m out and about I’m going to see if I can poach a few staff from other firms.
