My tub of Grooming Dept Vertu shaving soap, in his Nai formula, arrived, so of course I used it immediately. It has a wonderful fragrance : “Chocolate + Osmanthus + Cognac + Castoreum + Patchouli + Tonka + Vanilla.” The Nai formula has a wonderfully luxurious feel on the face, with a thick creamy lather that you can almost feel nourishing your skin. Its ingredients:

The fragrance was very appealing, and I noted the chocolate and vanilla especially.
RazoRock’s Adjust is, I think, the best adjustable razor I’ve used, despite its low price and visual bulk, a bulk that, as you shave, seems to become a steady and agile partner in delivering an exceptionally easy and smooth shave. Though certainly some credit must go to the soap (and its wonderful lather), the result today of shaving with the Adjust was shaving perfection. It’s a Baili razor, and it’s a bargain.
A splash of Speick EDT with a couple of squirts of Hydrating Gel finished the job. Great start to the day.
