Another day I was looking forward to, I really like the MdC soaps, yeah the outlay is heavy but they last an age and they perform brilliantly. This Vetyver is no exception (though the Fougere sees more use), the scent is lovely and for some weird reason sticks around with me for a bit longer than the fougere, not complaining about that!

New to me Floid Vetyver Balm, I was pleasantly surprised, again the scent strength was great but the balm itself actually did a really good job. For which I am very grateful given the challenge here.

Topped off with the SCENTUK Greveti, heavy on the vetiver. Seemed a little harsh initially but mellowed relatively quickly to something very pleasant. Still not one the Mrs comments on and luckily doesn't react to (allergies), so at worst it's an acceptable scent for general use.

This was a bloody close call today, I had almost lined up the Rolls for today, but thankfully I only had to imagine the pain of driving straight against the grain. Luckily the R41 was already up to bat, which when I was initially starting up was my daily driver so I know this was capable. They only semi-uncomfortable area being the neck, but a soft touch and short passes along with the floid to finish off saw a more than acceptable finish.

Had to aim this one at 'Grass' given the scent choice, ok it's clearly not vetiver but I've given it a bash.

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers
