Greetings,

Another one of my eclectic shave set ups to start the weekend off with a superb start. Last week of my sub-continent blade focus. Finishing it off with my new firm favourite blade pairing it up with with the Parker 55SL making another wonderfully smooth efficient razor/blade duo.

Derby & Arko have become my go to soap choices for my head shaves. The slickness, protection & post shave feel that both of these humble soaps provide is excellent.

A close comfortable face and head shave with no errors to report. finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Adidas Extreme Power EdT to the pulse points.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine. 😉

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen. 😎

Ok Then,
I was really looking forward to trying the MDC Rose soap sample kindly gifted by @Paul L, the original sniff of the packet had me sold on the sent, although i do have something very similar in the den from @Brianh and Signature soaps - the Leodis or Coria Maybe? (Rose & Geranium in both)
I actually used a bit too much soap and ended up with vast amounts of lather for which was basically a planned 2 pass shave. The scent is really nice and very natural, the lather was slick and creamy. Yes, its a very nice soap.
The shave itself was nice and easy without any errors, i do like the Pro-guard in the Kia, it makes it a very comfortable razor.
As i had plenty of lather in the brush and bowl i had a nice face wash in it before my cold water rinse.
I do like the MDC splash, although i did get some fleeting indication on the cheeks. Not a match for the soap, but very nice all the same.
The Rub!
Would i buy a full tub? the jury is out. I may succumb once my soap mountain starts to dwindle - maybe around 2033
Is it 4 times better than Signature soap - for me its a big NO. Controversial? I think not, its just my opinion. Save your money and check out @Brianh 's wares.
I do have a few more samples to try because of the great generosity of our members and do look forward to trying them out.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
