The Botiho has a special space in my heart for being my first design that I used for a shave. Love it!

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Saponificio Varesino Two-band High Mountain Manchurian White Badger
Soap: Murphy & McNeil Cliffs Of Moher
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: NOS Personna P74 (1)
Post: Chatillon Lux Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli Toner, Musgo Real Aftershave Balm
Scent: Boellis Panama 1924 EdT

Very enjoyable shave. This was my first use of Murphy & McNeil's Aon base soap, which contains both beef and duck tallow, plus a few other mods from the tallow base. The soap is noticeably harder than the tallow base; I'd call this a hard croap, whilst the tallow base is a soft croap. Easy to lather and very slick; performnce was again top shelf. The scent is very fresh, and fits the cliffs theme nicely.
I was a DFS after two passes, with the venerable P74 blade scything down the stubble effortlessly. A light three pass accomplished BBS. A lovely post shave feel with this soap.
Finished with one of my favourite scents - Boellis Panama 1924. Citrus, tobacco and vanilla skillfully woven together - wonderful juice.

I saw this documentary film this evening; if you are a sports fan, I cannot recommend it highly enough. I almost did not go, as I am far from a fan of the subject of the film. However, after reading the reviews, I could not resist. Engrossing viewing, and told absolutely warts and all.
