Chan Eil Whiskers
Fumbling about.
My shave today was close.
This is my vendor honed Kikuboshi. It's my sharpest razor I think although not necessarily a better edge than the ones I think of as a tad less sharp but still gloriously sharp.
The soap is from Italy.
I don't know anywhere to buy the actual soap as opposed to the cream except from the barber shop in Milan which I suppose makes it and definitely sells it. Here's a link. They don't give it away nor is the shipping to the US inexpensive. Think of it as the Italian MdC.
I have a sample which I acquired from Shave Dash. I have in transit a puck. I tried to convince myself over a year or two that this soap is just the same as the other and much more inexpensive Italian soaps which seem similar. They are similar, and you would probably be satisfied with ABM (AB Mondial) or one of the three or four similar Italian soaps soap by Connaught, but I decided to buy a puck. It is similar to MdC but certainly not entirely.
Anyway...I just can't resist sometimes.

Happy shaves to you,
