Great intro, Lili!!! Great shave and review, Ruds! Shave score=102 Mrs. Ruds approved for everything but date night. You got me again, Ruds. I ordered this soap a couple nights ago when I watched this vid. (ENABLER!😉) This will be my first Grooming Dept soap. I honestly can't believe I've held off this long. I'll let you know what I think once I have some shaves with the soap. Thanks! Cheers! -Rob
Hi Ruds- Great shave and soap review; thank you! It’s great to hear your thoughts about the new base as well as the scent profile. I like the new blue color, as well. Hello to Lily and Happy Mother’s Day to Mrs Ruds! I hope you have a good week ahead; take good care. Be safe and be well! Best regards, as always!
On your recommendation I was finally able to get my hands on a Grooming Dept. soap, Chypre Peach (Kairos base). I've got to say that either Mohammad is, as you say, a genius, or he's made a deal with the devil. But whatever he's doing I can honestly say the result is the shave of a lifetime. This has to be considered a "soap of the year", and Mohammad a true master maker. Thanks, as always!
As usual, I agree with your score. It and Wholly Law’s new base are tops for me. I have A&E’s Kaizen base arriving today so looking forward to it as well. Great time to shave!
Yes! When I got this, before Kaizan was handed out to everyone, I did a live shave and said this soap would be the first to break 100 and I was technically correct. Nice review brother I've been waiting for this confirmation for a while.
Another 100 breaker, im pretty sure all new bases with break your shavescore from now on. While watching the video i can see the super glide it has. And its fun to predict what you will score it at the end of the video given the way you describe the base through out the video and what we see aswell
I tried to buy Kaizen this morning and it was sold out. I bought this one last week , and now this one has the highest score so I am glad I got it. Can't wait to try it
Hi Ruds. Great Review. This must really be good stuff. I bought GD Aion it is the best soap I ever used and its still my favorite after trying Kaisen by A and E. Ill definitely try to get ahold of this one. Take care man.
As a great admirer of the GD line, it's great to see that this latest base received such a score. Looking forward to trying it out. What did you mean by "...this soap is fast..." or did I misinterpret what you were saying? Great to see Millie again. It's been some time. :) HMD to Mrs Ruds. Thanks for your time.
Just got Keisen, I think that’s spelled close. I can’t keep up as the scores go up lol. Thanks for another great review. I suppose I see what’s next. . .
Nice to see your daughter's participation, Ruds, and to imagine the sense of involvement and accomplishment she probably gets. In my opinion, that's part of what leads to minors recognizing the goodness of being producing participants, rather than passive outsiders. I think it registers inside them and forms a bit of a base that can be built on as they grow and develop that self-image. And that shaving soap, as always in your reviews, really sounds irresistible. I would at least like to find a sample to buy, instead of purchasing a tub and, in that way, contributing to my path to "debtors' prison." I'll check the maker's website. Thanks for the enticement, Ruds. And tell your daughter that some people would like her autograph, please. Ciao, guy. Best wishes.
This is a sign gifted to me by a very good friend. It’s the sign from a famous tunnel in Worcester, MA. I love things that have to do with my hometown.
Having tried both, which is the fastest soap to lather between the Kaizen and the Kairos? Which one needs the least amount of water to reach a good lather?
Ruds Shaves She did a good job. My wife is a better paint than me and has painted most of the walls in our newest house. I’ve had to do the sucky areas stooped down on my hands and knees (baseboards, interior of china cabinet, etc).
Great shave, Ruds! Was curious what would happen with Shave Scores once we got to 100 and now we know! I'm interested by your comments of this not being finicky like some of the other elite-class soaps... that's my major gripe with Barrister and Mann Excelsior base! I find that when you get it perfect it's awesome but it's really tough to get it perfect if you change to different soaps daily as I do. If you hydrate it not quite enough, it sucks all the moisture off your face even though it looks okay shaving and then if you hydrate it more you're lathering for 10 minutes. I'm finding more and more that "easy-to-use" is important to me and it sounds like Grooming Department has figured this out.

I love when our kids take an interest in our hobbies.
Nice lather Ruds! Going to have to revisit Amare.
Great intro, Lili!!!
Great shave and review, Ruds! Shave score=102

Super sweet intro
Thank you kindly.

Thank you Mike. Echoing all of the same sentiments back your way.
Crazy feedback on that razor!

Thanks for your support and more importantly for sharing your experience. So nice to hear that you enjoy Karios base as much as I do.
Great shave Ruds. That soap looked very impressive. I also really like the label. Cheers
Thanks my friend.
As usual, I agree with your score. It and Wholly Law’s new base are tops for me. I have A&E’s Kaizen base arriving today so looking forward to it as well. Great time to shave!
Thank you for the support.
Great shave! Your awesome review with the highest shave score made me buy this soap. Looking forward to using this and kaizen.
I cannot imagine you will disappointed in either.
I love that intro, Ruds. Caught me off guard for sure XD
Thank you!
Awesome review as always. Digging that new blue paint on the walls.
Thank you sir 👍🏻
Yes! When I got this, before Kaizan was handed out to everyone, I did a live shave and said this soap would be the first to break 100 and I was technically correct. Nice review brother I've been waiting for this confirmation for a while.
Thank you for the support and glad this was validation.
The base is fantastic on this one as well. Great review my friend.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Is this the king of all bases ever made Ruds?
So far!
I like ur honest review, thank ruds
Many thanks for the support.
Nice job. Looks like you painted in the room:)
Thank you. Mrs. Ruds tackled the painting.
@@dendj55 She did a nice job. I like the color.
Amazing video! Hope your well.
Many thanks.
Is that your little girl !? Awww God bless ya bro . Great Intro
That sure is. Not so little anymore though. She is almost 11 😀
Another 100 breaker, im pretty sure all new bases with break your shavescore from now on.
While watching the video i can see the super glide it has. And its fun to predict what you will score it at the end of the video given the way you describe the base through out the video and what we see aswell
Thank you. I’m definitely running out of superlatives.
Any tips on loading this base?
I tried to buy Kaizen this morning and it was sold out. I bought this one last week , and now this one has the highest score so I am glad I got it. Can't wait to try it
Thank you for the support.
What’s good Ruds!!
Excellent review again and let’s just see how long this score of 102 lasts as the highest.
Only time will tell. These artisans are pushing boundaries so often.
Try Grooming Department Otium. Is awesome on the Nai vegan formula
It’s on my list. Thanks for the recommendation.
Very nice shaving my friend! From a kiss to your daughter on my part! Good evening!!
Thank you my friend. Be well.
Well..... Yet another soap is on the way thanks to you 😂😂 Nice review! Can't wait to try this base.
I don’t think you will be disappointed. Be safe.
Hi Ruds. Great Review. This must really be good stuff. I bought GD Aion it is the best soap I ever used and its still my favorite after trying Kaisen by A and E. Ill definitely try to get ahold of this one. Take care man.
Thank you kindly.
Hey Rud! Just wondering if you use a straight razor for your head also. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
I do not. I would, but I am not wanting to take the extra time.
@@dendj55 can I ask. What razor do you use? Thanks for the reply.
On my dome? Most often Blackland Razors Vector.
@@dendj55 yup thx
As a great admirer of the GD line, it's great to see that this latest base received such a score. Looking forward to trying it out.
What did you mean by "...this soap is fast..." or did I misinterpret what you were saying?
Great to see Millie again. It's been some time. :)
HMD to Mrs Ruds.
Thanks for your time.
Mrs Ruds said that’s and Lilli loves being included. When I say “so fast” I’m referring to the slickness. Thanks as always.
@@dendj55 sincere apologies with your daughters name.
No worries at all!
Just got Keisen, I think that’s spelled close. I can’t keep up as the scores go up lol. Thanks for another great review. I suppose I see what’s next. . .

Thank you Martin! Hope you are well.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mrs. Ruds! We score Jason’s reviews at 100 with your input. Without it, well, let’s just say it wouldn’t be the same.
🙏🏻
Wow, still waiting for my order of Kaizen and there's already a new top of the heap :)
I think you will love Kaizen.
Great video and review thanks! Curious about the significance of the sign over your left shoulder?
Edit: it would be over your right shoulder, cameras left, sorry
This is a sign gifted to me by a very good friend. It’s the sign from a famous tunnel in Worcester, MA. I love things that have to do with my hometown.
Having tried both, which is the fastest soap to lather between the Kaizen and the Kairos? Which one needs the least amount of water to reach a good lather?
Kaizen is slicker while Karios requires less water.
You painted it!
Actually, Mrs. Ruds did 😃
Ruds Shaves She did a good job. My wife is a better paint than me and has painted most of the walls in our newest house. I’ve had to do the sucky areas stooped down on my hands and knees (baseboards, interior of china cabinet, etc).
I don’t like the fact you can’t find matching aftershaves... :(
Understand. I’ve heard many with that complaint.
BLUE 😍
I take it you approve?
😳 102! Well I will break my rule for this year and get this one. Never seen a soap glisten as such...lays down nice. I guess thanks....lol
Thank you as always.
My wallet won't ever forgive you Ruds, but i think my face will, haha. thanks for another good review!
You and me both!
I'm surprised it topped Kaizen. Could you mention what aspects of the soap base you thought was superior to Kaizen?
Slightly longer lasting post shave. It’s getting really hard to discern any difference. We are fortunate consumers.
LILY!!!!
She was so happy to help intro.
Did you paint the den? Looks great! Nice shave too! I need to try GD one of these days. Stay safe
Thank you. The painting was a Mrs. Ruds quarantine project.
Nice having you daughter on there. So... not good enough for "date night?" What is good enough for date night?
Mrs Ruds is into cologne scents.
102 😱 💈😎👍
👍🏻
