Feeling a lot of love for the Derbys! The GFT Coconut EXPLODED into an awesome, slick and tasty smelling lather. It will definately be a staple in my rotation for a long time. The PdP seems to be my go to ASB since it really does a great job of keeping my skin moisturized and goes well with several soaps/creams.

Pre Veleiro soap + Jabonman Lavanda + Semogue 1335 + Rotbart 15.5 with Gillette Thin + Ach Brito Lavanda cologne with 444 balm


Today I have used another spanish artisan soap. For me is better than the other ones, it smells wonderfully (like Art of Shaving Lavender or Welleda cream) and makes good foam withouth problem, although this one is a bit worse than the other ones with more essential oils in slickness and hidrating. A shame that this Semogue has the handle cracked (like most of Semogue painted wood handle brushes) because the hair is very good for being a small boar: firm with good backbone but with soft tips. Another shame that Ach Brito cologne has a so soft scent as well, it doesn't last much...


Cheers!

Solgen | Thäter Fan | Bomb - Rose/Sandalwood | Lucido | Le Labo Rose 31 + MPG Santal Noble

I hadn't used the Bomb in a while. In fact, it seems I rarely use creams lately. But I was inspired to break out this most luxurious of custom scents. I had this made with pure Turkish Rose oil and a sandalwood oil, both of which I bought in Istanbul last summer. The scent is rich and opulent, and the lather is typical of Al's creations, which is to say it is divinely rich and full. The shave was going swimmingly until I started to day dream. That's when the razor reminded me that it has one hell of a spike on it. It was a good lesson learned that we are never too good at shaving with a straight to stop respecting the very sharp edge they carry!
