  • Brush: Stirling - 2 Band Synthetic.
  • Razor: Gillette - Slim adjustable.
  • Blade: Gillette - Silver Blue.
  • Lather: Dr. Jon’s - Rose of Phrygia.
  • Post: Geo F. Trumper - Coral Skin Food.
  • Fragrance: Matiere Premiere - Radical Rose.

In a rush today, but wanted to note the smell and performance of this soap is wonderful. What a bummer it is no longer available and Dr. Jon’s is no longer. I am a year too late it seems. I read the insta from him about starting soap making as a hobby and being offered a position managing a dealership … creating the company to support his shaving hobby. Props to all the artisans putting out phenomenal products! I imagine it’s not a huge money making thing to do,and there is a lot of money, time, and labor involved but the love, dedication, and craftsmanship you devote to your goods- is really amazing and it shows. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.

Also, I really love Rose soaps and this one was fantastic. Thank you so much to u/pilgrim32 for this and other smooshes - you’ve got stellar taste!

I’m not doing FoF, but I got this sample of Radical Rose and it’s pretty great. The description states it is the “only rose fragrance in the world to use Rosa Centifolia oil from the perfumer’s own organic farm (in France)”.. and It is super unique and wavers on more masculine side of rose to me.
