Yardley was a big name back in the name — still somewhat big, but lessened in my view because of not having a shaving soap (or shaving cream) or an aftershave. So it goes. But this tub of vintage soap, several decades in age, does a fine job of making a fragrant lather, thanks in part to that Maggard Razors 22mm synthetic brush..
The Rockwell 6S (“S” for “superb”) easily stripped away the stubble, and a splash of Italian Stallion aftershave milk from the belated Mickey Lee Soapworks finished the job in fine style. As I’ve previously commented, I would never have purchased this had I not received (and tried) a sample in an order from them.
Altogether, a fine start to the day, somewhat making up for a tempeh failure: using some of the previous batch as a starter did not work. I’ll have to use the packets of tempeh starter culture — which means to get the best bang for the buck, batches will become big.
