Mistura May Madness

Brush: Semogue Torga-C3 Finest Mistura 22/49
Soap: TFS Mandarino Tachibana
Razor: RazoRock SS Lupo 95 head on El Fantasma handle
Blade: Personna Red (2)
ASL: Iced Orange (home brew)

A most pleasant shave.

I'm sticking with my Lupo 95 GT till my Yuma YM-403's custom handle shows up (next weekend hopefully). Either of these two razors along with today's hardware and software are my current shave benchmarks, and the tools responsible for my best shaves to date.


Happy shaves guys.

Last few days guys... are we creating a brotherhood/club etc? This has been fun, and still loving the shaves on the mistura.

Three smooth passes, nice and easy bbs. I haven't used Pharaoh's Dreamsiecle for quite some time, stupid me. The blend of orange and vanilla is oh so devine. Just as the Mistura...

This has been a great thread. Unfortunately, I must enjoy these SOC Misturas vicariously until next year. As we approach the end of the month, I wonder what people think. Which SOC Mistura do you think is the fairest of them all?

• The elegant Taj
• The warm Cherry
• The retro Butterscotch
• The cool Ash

I think the cherry one, but the ash one is growing on me.

I am lining up one last shave for the 31st tomorrow, can't wait, see y'all on the flip side!

My wife suggested that I shave before bed... Mistura for the win!

A nice relaxing shave, good way to start the week.

It seems Cal has been doing a good job enabling me for the C3 Mistura, also. I have been liking the smaller brushes recently. Decisions, decisions...

I really had my eyes on a c5 mistura before getting the soc, so I feel that. Someone was selliing a few torgas not too long in the bst, the thread was closed without a posted complete resolution, go have a look, just search up "torga" in the bst threads. If my memory serves correct (ha!) they had a c5, and... two c3? One c3 sold... I think it was in finest, snd they had a bunch of shirts that sold.

If your toy shaving budget allows, THERE IS NO DECISION. Press the buy-it-now button immediately!

I wish my Mistura was smaller. But apart from its large (to me) size it's still my all time top favorite.

Here's a bunch of my favorites (with the C3 Mistura taking pride of place):

I have the C5 in premium boar, which is a great brush, BTW.

What a lovely lineup! You do seem to like that shavemac/thater style of handle, or just how it worked out?

After 31 shaves in 31 days with 1 brush, I'm quite satisfied with the Maggard 24mm Mixed 70/30...

And so the Semogue Mistura goes from the shopping cart back to the wish list for now. Be well and stay safe...

What a lovely lineup!

Thank you.

I do. Apart from the Semogue and the Omega 599 Super Badger (front right [same handle as their 11047 Mixed Midget]) they're all Shavemacs.
