• Prep: Proraso White (and I shave IN the shower)
• Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar(SOC)
• Razor: Merkur 38C "Barber Pole"
• Blade: Feather (3)
• Lather: Saponificio Varesino (SV) Felce Aromatica in a GP scuttle
• Post Shave: Allum; Proraso Splash and Balm


With weather starting to push 80s now and with Spring soon behind us, I took the scuttle out for its final voyage before decommissioning it for the season. But let me say this—few things in live rival some rich, slick lather kept exceptionally warm in a GP scuttle. She will be missed, but we will meet again this Fall.

A luxurious soap like SV was only fitting for the sendoff…Bellissimo!

SOTD

Pre- Liquid Neutrogena & warm water face wash
Razor- Merkur 34c
Blade- Astra Superior Stainless (#3)
Soap- Geo. F. Trumper Spanish Leather (1st use, highly recommend)
Brush- Omega 21mm silvertip
Bowl- Captain's Choice
Post- Classic Shaving alum, cold water rinse
AS- Aqua Velva Musk

GFT has an excellent scent and provides terrific performance, hitting all the buttons needed to reach BBS. Not a motorcycle jacket leather, rather an old school saddle type with musk and floral notes blended in. As soon as I had the cream in the bowl the scent bloomed, and then exploded as I lathered it up. The AV Musk is of course musk heavy, so I'd like to get the GFT skin food AS or the cologne to carry this wonderful scent.

Soap: Vitos 'Red'
Razor: Fatip Lo Storto Originale
Blade: Wizamet Iridium Super (5)

Another great shave (Lo Storto #5).
