This is my second outing with Dr. Jon's. I noted a bit more density and thus a more traditional lather than I had experienced with "Bandit". However, as with "Bandit" the stellar slickness is the reason Dr. Jon's will likely be one of my more frequently used soaps. The scent of "Hydra" is not open to interpretation. I say that because you can legitimately pick out each of the distinct scents that are printed right on the tin: lemon, orange, grapefruit, mandarin, lime, and bergamot. The exception for me was that I kept wanting to say tangerine, but I understand that's the mandarin. I'm just more familiar with tangerines, but the two are closely related. This is not one of those multifaceted, complex scents that unfolds, reveals, and surprises. What you smell off the puck is what you get, and that's a very good thing if you're a citrus lover.

The paired splash is surprisingly different. Initially a sharp but sweet orange scent was right up front, but as time passed each fruit sort of rotated through. Three hours out, the lime seems to hang around with more prominence, and it's quite enjoyable.

Excellent photo, Dmitri, and I hope the shave went well and the edge on the Fila to your liking.

David, thanks for the great razor and excellent communication.
By the way, I'm late for a vintage tallow Floris 89. If you suddenly decide to sell Penhaligons English Fern soap or/and aftershave, I'm the first in line

Remembering those that have served this country. Thank you for you dedicated service.
