Gentlemen,

I really enjoyed all the French products on display this past week. The past several years have witnessed a boom in the number of soap makers releasing truly excellent shaving soaps. This week, it's time to show which of those artisan soaps you're shaving with these days. In the interest of science (or more accurately, junk science: being a poorly designed,non-randomized,un-controlled, non-blinded "study"), I will try to tally what gets used over the upcoming week. Next week, we will have a "Classic Shave Soap" theme week.

'64 Tech
Rapira Supersteel (1)
Col. Conk Badger
C.O. Bigelow Cream
Cold water rinse.

Nice mild combo tonight, BBS finish.

Good to use a Rapira again as it's been awhile... since the last one.

Not as sharp as a Med Prep or a Perma Sharp but a decent blade in its own right,

Good to use for a change!

Arguably my best shave ever. The stars aligned and I wound up with a rare BBS with ZERO irritation. Also the Barberry Coast Bay Rum is AMAZING!! Combining the Bay Rum with the Thayer's rose was the perfect post-shave combo!!
