I am addicted to the scent of Gold Dachs shaving soap. Man this is nice stuff. Lathers up real well too and not overly drying – a problem with some soaps such as Tabac. A second-use Treet Blue Special in the E.J. Chatsworth (a rarity for me but I had no time to change blades). The result: An excellent shave although I manged to nick a zit low down on my neck and it hurt like hell, but not much blood. Still, the shave creams don’t provide the same level of blade cushioning and I think that I will start combing the G.D. with a cream for a superlather – pity though, for that incredible smell to be diluted!

Finish with The Gentlemens Refinery Balm and Moisturizer, the former receiving an incredibly positive review on Badger & Blade just recently. A shot of Aqua Velva and Bob’s-Yer-Uncle!
