No. 88 t. (Czech & Speake) rose, plumeria, vetiver, sandalwood
For many years, No. 88 was Ozzy Osborn’s signature scent. Needless to say, it’s loud and lasting (at least the cologne is). This soap, though, is actually pretty tame, but at the same time it’s wonderfully complex. I get fruity notes like melon and grapes, and lots of wood, and of course, a deep rich rose. The lather is what you would expect from a soap made by Valobra: heavy, rich, and deep. If you like the original Art of Shaving pucks and wish you could find something that matches their performance, C&S isn’t a bad place to start.

I’m not sure what that means for the brand in the long run, but for now, it seems to be mostly sold out, along with Czech & Speake…

Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”
