That's is the most Spaniard I can be in terms of shaving (unless I end up with a straight made in Spain, which is something I do not discard at all xD)


Pre: Shower
machine: SSSeygus extreme 2016 oc
blade: Polsiver Stainless #4
brush: BSB2 Silvertip
soap: ByLuna L.E. Foroafeitado 2018
splash: Epsilon blue sample courtesy of a fellow shaver

I decided to go for facial lather and it was a mistake. It didn't left me as comfortable as usual, so certainly I need to stop for a bit. The epsilon sting me a bit, even in areas where I didn't shave

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: M&F / Brad Forbes Finest Badger
Soap: Klar Kabinett
Razor: Merkur Futur (2)
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna Super Platinum Chrome (5)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel / Myrsol Emulsion
Scent: APR Fougère Bourbon Rose

First use of the Klar Kabinett soap. Lovely stuff. I can see why this was the soap of choice for many professional Barbers in Europe. Easy to lather, a gentle and very pleasant rose scent, and very good performance, including a nice post-shave feel.
The vintage Personna blade continues to perform effortlessly - I am really impressed with its smoothness when shaving against the grain. Also impressive is the performance of the M&F brush. Finished off with one of my favourite fragrances, APR Fougère Bourbon Rose, which matched the soap scent nicely.
