Shoot those cans of goo!
I have a bunch of new stuff I decided to try in this Sundays shave.
Pre-shave:
Hot shower. Musgo Real Glycerin Lime Oil Soap. This soap left my face relaxed, moisturized and ready for the shave.
The Shave:
Grabbed my Semogue 2000 boar brush that I've been using exclusively for the last weeks and used a small amount of the Top Secret shaving cream. This scent is fantastic, but I really can't describe it. It smeels of a blend of lovely floral/woodsy scents.
I picked up my freshly honed Johann Briedohr «Breidora» straight razor to try it out. It has some spots on the blade as you can see, but the edge got wicked sharp and buttery smooth. Now I see why the «Les 3 Croix» razors from J. Breidohr are sold at such high prices.
One pass WTG, the second one XTG was enough for BBS.
Post-shave:
Musgo Real After Shave Balsam. It smells great and soothes the skin leaving it in great shave.
What a way to start a Sunday!
Great start indeed! Use Musgo Real ASB also, nice sweet smell.

The Pop Pop shave
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Derby (5)
Brush: Altesse Badger
Soap/Cream: Williams
A/S: Pinaud Clubman
New Derby blades are OK, but not as good as my older ones (well, blades I got in 2008). I didn't feel safe taking my chances going beyond 5 shaves. I can usually stretch a Derby to 7 shaves.
