Still in travel mode this week and the second performance of the Rocca with the GSB on this voyage. Nice uneventful 2-pass (WTG) BBS with some touchups.
B&M's Fougère Classique lathered beautifully with a little help from YBN Glycerin and a few additions of water. The Liscio brush is a good travel brush, but I realize now that it is too small for daily lathering. It requires much more work to make a nice lather and it is a little bit soft on the backbone. Nevertheless, it is a good brush and sufficient enough for quick travel shaves.
Completed this shave with WH toner and 4711 as an aftershave. A little bit of Aloe Vera helps to keep any soap irritation in check. Today's fragrance was Byredo's Super Cedar.

This soap has a nice lather and matches nicely with the splash. Enjoy a good leisurely shave with this excellent razor...
