Maggard Limes & Bergamot today. 20 seconds to load the Maggard 2-Band Badger brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette Silver Blue in the Maggard V2 Open Comb. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Country Club Frozen Vetiver aftershave.
SOTD triple post:
Todays SOTD post is three posts in one, i haven't had time to post individual one's this past week or so.
SOTD 1:. A beautiful shave with uncle Jon's pipe smoke, this stuff is absolutely fantastic, and a great performer for sure. Lathers like an absolute bomb, and very slick too. The scent is absolutely remarkable.
SOTD 2: a fantastic shave with the boots cream, this stuff is one of the slickest creams ive used, and works well as long as you use the correct amount, a large almond sized blob works best for me for three passes. An absolutely fantastic cream.
SOTD 3: A much better performance from the proraso sapone than i remember, the menthol was absolutely perfect strength wise, and although i still say proraso lacks slickness, it gave me a perfect shave and it has excellent protection, it definitely deserves a re evaluation after my last review where i was quite critical of its performance.
Está Focus cogiendole el ángulo de 25 °correctamente es una maravilla apurando sin ninguna irritación, no entiendo porqué se habla tan mal de ella en otros foros.
