A reader reminded of of Wickham, and this shaving soap — Garden Mint, by which they mean spearmint rather than peppermint — is an extremely pleasant soap for spring and summer, when it is seasonal, and for autumn and winter, when it reminds you of balmier days of greenery and growth. The Phoenix Starcraft got a good lather going, and I took my time lathering my stubble.
Three easy passes with the Fine slant, a truly fine razor, left my face perfectly smooth, and a splash of Irisch Moos (brought to mind by another reader) and I’m ready for the day if not the week.
