A couple days till Vacay!
~05/09/2012~

Semogue 1438 \\ Merkur Progress w/ Red IP \\ Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba \\ Santa Maria Novella Crema Da Barba \\ Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm

For today's shave I face lathered using the ever so famous Marco Method using SMN. Today's lather was the best/densest I ever got with SMN and it was great! Although I did squeeze a little bit of water out of the bristles before loading the 1438. SMN is best used this way. In any case, If someone was on a budget and wanted excellent SBrushes that are boar I would 110% recommend the Semogue 1800 & 1438. The best value for under $30 owning both. Then you can slowly expand when wanted. Well enough from me. I hope you all have an excellent day!

Today, a luxurious shave!

Queen Charlotte's GIT type soap + Vie&Long 16910 "two bands edition" + Merkur Slant with Blitz #1 +Cool Water after-shave lotion and balm


This soap makes good foam and smells well, but it hasn't remarkable propierties... a decent soap anyway, very good to combine with Cool Water products (very similar scent in my opinion).


And I have tested for the first time this Blitz german blade. It seems smooth and soft but not very sharp. I'll use it with other razors to appreciate it better...


Cheers!
