\"Shave12\"One of my favorite shave creams is Penhalagon\u2019s Blenheim Bouquet.\u00a0 Desiring to get a little more information, some friends that are in London took a stroll over to Panhalagon\u2019s at 41 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, London.\u00a0 The report is as follows: \u00a0\u201cThe one at Covent Garden has been there since about 1802. It has all in dark wood with glass covered cupboards lining the side. In the centre of the room was a large round wooden table with each of their fragrances displayed in a circle. Behind each fragrance was a little cup with tester strips. Don smelled each one of them and agrees with you that Blenheim Bouquet was the best. It is their signature fragrance. The shops are not very big. It is a \u201cposh\u201d shop.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the shave, it started by stropping the Dovo razor on the linen side of the Dublduck strop and then moving to the horsehide side for 20+ times. The choice for shave cream today is of course Blenheim Bouquet applied to the face with a super badger brush. How I love the fragrance of the Blenheim Bouqet, a superb citrus aroma. It seems to arouse the whiskers into a frenzy of desire to be whacked down by the edge on the Dovo razor. Once with the grain and a second time against the grain and I was left with a smooth face. The follow up was a generous splash of Musgo Real No. 1 Orange Amber.\u00a0 This aftershave also has a wonderful citrus aroma. What a wonderful shave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
