This shave is an homage to João dos Anjos - simply a great gentleman. He began to work at Confiança in 1932, as a jack-of-all-trades - and continued to work to the factory during more than 60 years, until he became the heart and soul of the company, in its golden era, doing everything - making soap, composing perfumes and colognes and creating all sort of products.

He is also the creator of the Veleiro and Top Secret shaving creams.

Obrigado, Sr. João dos Santos.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger
Razor/Blade: Merkur 39C Slant + Bolzano Superinox Inossidabile blades
Lather: Trumper's "Eucris" Shave Soap (Thanks Rene ) + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS
Results: I hadn't shaved with a DE for so long, I was afraid that I might have forgotten how to. So, today I took out (and dusted) my DE slant for this purpose. I loaded her up with Bolsano blades that I recently purchased and took her out for a spin. Also new today was a sample of the Eucris shave soap I received from Rene yesterday (thanks buddy)...this thing really smells great, not to mention that it produces a great lather. Not surprising given that it's Trumper's . The prep/lather was wonderful as was the Bolsano, but I must confess that as much as I loved this shave, I really prefer my straight...I get a much smoother and enjoyable shaves from them than a DE.

Have a SPECTACULAR Wednesday gentlemen
