Oleo Soapworks Canard (duck fat) base Rougere & Shiloh. I used Shiloh this morning. This base is OUTSTANDING. Slick, protective, an d nice post shave.

How is the performance and scent of Rougere? I did not know other "duck bases" were out other than Bufflehead and Grooming Dept

I posted yesterday that Top of the Chain had Rougere and Shilo and other Oleo soaps in stock but then Shilo showed as sold out but this morning Rougere is showing sold out and Shilo is in stock. I ordered both last night. I haven't tried Oleo's duck base but I have read a good review of it. Also FYI Grooming Dept(as you know) has some duck tallow soaps as well. Duck tallow must be getting more widely available. I did try an Oleo beef tallow soap El Cabelero and found it to smell really nice but lacking a little bit in the slickness department.

These brushes came in Tuesday and Wednesday

Oneblade and M&F L7

That's fantastic, I wish our antique shop had that stuff.Senate515

I got this fancy new custom shaving brush with a tuxedo not. My first one from Turn N shave.

Vintage Woods of Windsor aftershave, to go with the matching tallow shaving soap. It has a pretty old-fashioned fragrance, but I like it.

A couple of Wiborg's.
