Greetings,

La Barbiera Shaving Soap Week.

(Face & Head Shave)

Another new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.

Maiden shave with the vegan La Barbiera Shaving Soap one of four soaps that I've had for a while but haven't got round to trying them out due to me reaching for my regular favourites. I'll be trying out the four soaps through out the week. I've started with the Sweet Orange, all of four shaving soaps have a pleasant scents which are slightly synthetic but, not overpowering to the point where it's offensive.

what I find impressive is the soap created an protective lather in a short space of time and doesn't dissipate on application the shea butter leaves a good post shave feel. The fragrance isn't the most important The three things that I like to test for in a shaving soap/cream are slickness protection, & post shave feel all three are essential especially for head/dome shaving.

The La Barbiera Shaving Soap gave all three this morning. What more can I ask for. I look forward to trying out the other three soaps throughout the week.

Another close comfortable combined face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

This was the second day I used my Feather AS-D2 razor with a Feather blade. As usual, this combination gave me a nice, smooth shave. I did my usual four-pass shave and the result was perfect. Yesterdayโ€™s brush was the large Shavemac 28 mm synthetic. Today I am using a smaller brush: the Simpson Duke. This brush works fine in the small container in which I put the Haslinger soap. The Haslinger was on its sixth use. The lather was good, and I got a perfect shave. Have a wonderful day, folks.
