Like yesterday’s soap, Pasión is another Grooming Dept Kairos formula augmented with lamb tallow and emu oil (formula details in previous post). The fragrance is quite pleasing: “Pear, Ginger, Tuberose, Narcissus, Hay, Honey, Amber, Leather, Patchouli, Musks.”  (Just this morning I saw that Sharpologist has an article on patchouli.) The lather from these soaps is absolutely superb. Though they contain no clay, they are somewhat thirsty, and I do have to add a few dabs of water as I load the brush, and a driblet more to bring the lather to perfection.

The iKon #101 is a marvelous razor. I always enjoy the the shave (and get a fine result) when I use it. I ended the shave with a splash of Penhaligon”s Blenheim Bouquet with a bit of Grooming Dept Hydrating Gel added. My face feels wonderful.

The tea this morning is Murchie’s Baker Street Blend, one of their “smoke” teas: “Lapsang Souchong, smooth Keemun, rich Ceylon, Gunpowder and floral Jasmine.” This one is a favorite.
