I discovered that I am short one RazoRock razor to do a full workweek run with them, but I have taken steps to remedy that. Watch this space.
My Fine Classic brush did a fine job with Dr. Jon’s handcrafted Defiance: “combines the sweet notes of mandarin and sandalwood with the spicy, sharp notes of allspice and black pepper.” The ingredients:
Stearic Acid, Water, Castor Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Babassu Oil, Essential/Fragrance Oils, Sodium Hydroxide, Sunflower Oil, Avocado Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Meadowfoam Oil, Aloe Vera, Soy Wax, Slippery Elm Bark, Citric Acid.
Citric acid is, I imagine, to improve soap performance in hard water.
The lather was quite good, the fragrance subdued, and the Progress did a very good job. A tiny dab of Esbjerg aftershave gel finished the shave on a pleasant note.
