[font=Verdana, sans-serif]Stellar shave.  Forgotten how good the classic British soap and brush combination can be.  I read how some folks think that DR Harris soaps aren't as good as they once were but for me, today, this [/font]lathered easily, gave a pleasant cushion, had plenty of slickness, and left a soft post-shave feel.  Perhaps the GD pre-shave helped -- and I should add that this brush is stellar and the WR1 is always good -- but for whatever reason this was a quick, easy, and smooth day.

I'm still not used to seeing the pearl-grey lather that this cream produces. It smells a bit weird too. 
"A dynamic fragrance that combines cedarwood, sandalwood, musk and vanilla." If they say so, I guess.



It performs well enough, but this will be my first and last tub of it.

Azzaro EDT

I tried spritzing a sample of that Azzaro "Wanted by Night" EdT on the back of my hand in the store one time. I did not much care for it, but then I could not completely get rid of the scent for 16 days, no matter what I scrubbed it with. 
I'm smarter now, by using those little strips of blotter paper that they offer for spraying samples on, and writing the name on them.
