In honor of Spain's historic win in UEFA 2012's Euro Cup tournament yesterday, I decided to feature the four final teams in my shave. I hadn't used a boar brush in a while, and don't have much from Portugal, so the Semogue was an easy choice. Similarly, I'm a bit thin on Spanish options - either a Filly or La Toja, but who could resist that Manatiales soap? The German choice was easy because the Wacker was feeling abandoned in the back of the shave den. And after vetiver yesterday, the Lorenzo Villoresi was a no brainer! The lather today from the Manantiales was quite possibly the best I've gotten from this exceptional soap! And I was left CBS after two passes.

Have a great day, gentlemen!

Good Morning !
~07/02/2012~

Semogue Owners Club \\ Merkur 1904 w/ Red IP \\ Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba \\ Proraso Sapone Da Barba: Con Olio Di Sandalo \\ La Toja Manantiales After Shave Balsamo

So I went ahead and switched back to a Red IP. Its big a noticeable difference for me when using a Derby and Red IP. Blades are all YMMV, but I tried the Derby again at least. Its great to already see that from this week's theme, my everyday items are already made in both Germany & Italy, so this will not be a problem. I was routing for Italy in the final match, and Spain proved themselves again winning it. Have a nice day!
