Warm Woods and Testina Gentile

Clik here to view.
A silvertip badger shaving brush with a whitle and labeled "Emperor" next to a tub of shaving soap that has a black lid and a light-green label on the side. In a brown disk on the label, "warm Woods" is printed in white letters. On top is a chromed DE razor with a fluted handle. Next is  rectangular transparent glass bottle with a tall gold cap. The font shows in black a stand of trees and the word "Woods" on a transparent background, so that the amber liquid that half fills the bottle is visible.

Meißner Tremonia’s Warm Woods is the newest of my MT soap and the end of this run through my collection of their soaps. As you see, the label has been revised, with “Tremonia” demoted to much smaller letters beneath “Meißner.” The name of the soap is also now smaller, and fragrance notes or interesting ingredients are no longer listed. Again, clay is included in the formula — here, both Kaolin and Brown clay, along with sea salt and talc.

The fragrance is of wood and/or crushed evergreen needles, a balsam fragrance — pleasant and warm — and the lather is again thick and slick.

My Fatip Testine Gentile is a good little razor, high in both comfort and efficiency. Three passes easily produced a BBS result, and a splash of Saint Charles Shave Woods, an aftershave with that same balsam note, finished the job. 

The  coffee this morning is Fantastico’s Carrizal: “Approachable and Easy Drinking. Full Bodied and Balanced With a Combination of Milk Chocolate, Praline, and Caramel.”

I like this better than the Sumatra Nusantara I had Thursday morning. The tasting notes of the Sumatran coffee were undetectable to me, though the coffee was smooth.
