SOTD s339L || The Gentleman Floris - “No.89” | TroyCraft “Golden Tulip” 26/52 Boss | Karve Bison

**Featured Legacy Soap** The Gentleman Floris - “No.89”, a vegetal triple-milled soap. No.89 scent was formulated in 1951 and scent is described as: “Orange and bergamot blended with lavender and neroli give this scent its classical cologne aspect. Warmed with a touch of spicy nutmeg, the floral heart is underscored by the dominant woody accord of sandalwood, cedarwood and vetiver in this quintessentially English gentleman's fragrance.”

**Legacy** Floris (Perfumes) were founded in 1730 and opened a shop at 89 Jermyn Street London by Juan Famenias Floris, which is still open today and is family owned and run by the 8th and 9th generations of the family.***Soap Ingredients*** Potassium Palmate, Potassium Palm Kernelate, Potassium Stearate, Sodium Palmate, Glycerin, Aqua (Water), Sodium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Stearate, Palm Kernel Acid, Parfum (Fragrance), Limonene, Linalool, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Geraniol, Coumarin, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide)

**Shave Result** As No.89 is a hard triple milled soap I shaved about 0.5gm off the puck and pressed the shavings into the bottom of my lathering bowl which produced an awesome rich, creamy, medium density lather with excellent performance. The scent is a wonderful classy classic clean woody floral aroma with some citrus & spice, with has the bonus of 100% wife approval rating, scent strength 4/10. The Bison with Topaz blade provided me with a smooth, clean DFS, no irritations. -------------------------------------------------
