Today's Favorite Soap: Speick Shave Stick​

 

[Rylos]

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

1. Prep: Hot shower; Yardley bath bar; hand strop blade
2. Coffee: Locally roasted, fresh ground Costa Rican w/ cream
3. Lather: Speick cream - face lather
4. Brush: Simpson's Commodore X2
5. Razor: Gem OCMM
6. Blade: Pella SS PTFE coated (5); 2 passes
7. Post: Cold water rinse; Kiehl's Balm

Another great shave with the Speick, a 2-pass DFS. The Commodore has quickly become my go to brush. A great combination of soft tips with nice backbone for massaging the lather into the stubble.

Shave Rating - Splendid! God Bless!

Wednesday, 1.11.12

Warm Water Splash
Castle Forbes Lavender Shave Cream
New Forest #2221 High Mountain Badger
W.H. Morley & Sons Clover Brand 5/8
Strop by Neil Miller .. 62/62
Witch Hazel
Floïd Suave AfterShave Splash

I have finally cracked the code of my La Veinette, and I now find that I made it more difficult than it needed to be, but it's so nice, many blades are receiving a "tune-up" on it. The Clover Brand straight was today's victim. I love this blade for it's "shotgun" scales and generally clean, flattering lines. Reminiscent of like a long, lean and beautiful airline stewardess..
The New Forest #2221 is the acknowledged master at handling creams, so why not team it up with Castle Forbes in it's Lavender persuasion?

I'll skip the superlatives, and give it my highest four star rating.. A pleasant shave!

Wednesday

Ikea bowl Semogue 2011 LE, Finest badger1
Mühle R101 (2010) with Feather

Scottish Fine Soaps Classic Shaving Soap
Scottish Fine Soaps Classic After Shave Balm
Scottish Fine Soaps Classic EdT

I have cracked the code - not the Da Vinci code, but Da Scottish fine Soaps code
I have blamed this soap for having poor and unstable lather, however I have been wrong, all it took was not more product, but more water - a lot more water in fact.
When I figured that out, I got a very nice and thick meringue-like lather.
So my apology to Scottish Fine Soaps for dissing their soap, which turns out to be a quite nice soap.

Have a nice day, Gentlemen
