Is it a coincidence or do the French roses smell different from, for example, those from England?
It seems plausible that they smell different from the english roses because the MDC Rose has a similar smell to the French Eau de Toilette of Provence & Nature and that smell is delicious.

Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm,
Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic,
Asylum RX,
Feather Professional 2nd x,
Eyup Sabri Tuncer Colonya Klasik Limon,
Weleda Aftershave Balsam,
Loris E-048 Cool Water.
Brush and soap:
Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm and Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic:
This morning I look out the window over the meadows and see sun, freshness and some reip on the grass. That was a nice fresh foam on horseback, Vie-Long Epsilon White Horse Hair "Fan Shape" 27mm loaded with Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic and that in a warm Polish bowl. The nice fresh scent of the citrus in the MITA was easily twisted in my nose. What a nice way to wake up! Oh and of course also good foam.
Blade and razor:
The Feather Professional for the 2nd x used.
The Feather Professional, still very sharp, because this was the second use, gave a nice smooth result. In the Asylum RX is the Feather Professional a fine blade, said it is quite present and if the angle is too large the combi bites quickly. So there must be some attention and otherwise the alum.
Result: BBS.
Finally: The freshness nicely held with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, Weleda Aftershave Balsam and the Loris E-048 Cool Water. Good start.

This makes me curious to the Rose scent of Martin de Candre. The Agrumes I do like: a nice pure and fresh smell. The shaving properties are also good, although it is still the first formula
Hahaha yeah let's also start here with that loud and clear nonsense about new soap formulas.
I always laugh when someone says that a certain soap maker has once again developed a new formula and immediately praises it. And the good thing is that there are still a few Members who go along with it, which is actually quite pathetic in my view.
By the way, you'll be stuck with soaps from the old formula, but you'll have some bad luck.
Morris & Forndran Style 3, Size 2 in Finest, Ivory Grain
Tallow & Steel - Boreal
Punktal - 101
Voskhod (4)
Alaun
It is not often that I get real enthousiastic about a new (to me) razor anymore, but this is one terrific razor. Four days of growth gone without effort.

First time use of the palmolive stick for me. I hardly picked up any scent. Lather was nice. The combination of the sonnal and personna is also a nice one. Have a good day.

Do we just praise this forum a post or 9 above that we are fortunately still protected from that endless bullshit that the same brand of soap releases a new soap base each time, which is of course a bit better than the old one and then today.................................

Or MDC, Mama Bears, Stirling, MWF, Haslinger, Meissener, DR Harris, Essence of Scotland, Arko etc etc.
You'd think why that man can't produce a good soap in one or, say, twice at the most.
But you always have people who keep calling it out and constantly believe that the new soap base is better............so free marketing.
