SOTD * Bowl: Yates Precision Manufacturing - Sm. lather bowl.
Brush: Proraso by Omega - boar travel brush.
Razor: Henson AL13 - mild.
Blade: Treet - Platinum Super Stainless.
Lather: London Razors/Summer Break Soaps - Mountain Laurel.
Fragrance:* Tom Ford - Neroli Portofino.

Notes: Amber, Neroli, Geranium, Galbanum, Oakmoss- created as an homage to the Eastern Kentucky mountains. Soap by SBS, scent by London Razors. Okay this stuff is fantastic. This is another gift smoosh from u/pilgrim32 who saved my games and u/ShavigInCT who sent me a brush to help me be more competitive. Both are solid people and I will 100% PIF. I love florals and this one is excellent.

I’ve never heard of mountain laurel (not a native shrub to Illinois ☹️), but I would be happy smelling this all day. It’s a fresh, green fragrance with the wonderful performance that SBS is known for. If anyone has some stashed away collecting dust in your shave den and wants to start the cleansing process of decluttering, let me know!

As for fragrance- TF Neroli Portofino is as close as I have to pairing with the soap. Base notes include amber ✅ middle notes include neroli ✅ and maybe that’s it. I swear they go nicely together.

Challenge- you can start by bringing back this soap and making it exclusive.

I’d also be stoked for an exclusive from a female artisan.
