The soaps/bars you're using always seem to come with interesting geometry. Do you cut them/use them in a specific way?

Thank you, but nothing special other then wear from usage. Usually I will use a new soap rubbing an edge on my face, then once there is a “dent”, I generally switch to a broad side like the bottom. Once it gets thinner, I generally go back to an edge. But really it is kind of random in general.

Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend,..In my previous Shave i used the Pecksniff's Lemon,Cedar,Amber Cream...which was passed on to me, anyway even though it created a good lather, i always wondered why i had to use more than a considerable amount, to create a decent lather, i now know why "it's a brushless shave cream".I didn't read the instructions..Not to waste things, i've tried it as a Pre-Shave cream and it works a treat...Swings & roundabouts.

Maiden shave with the Dorco prime platinum blade..The verdict? very sharp smooth & efficient...since the return of my Parker 87r, after been loaned out for well over a year, this little indian princess is becoming a regular favourite in my razor rotation, paired up with the Dorco p.p. was another brilliant match, the blade gave the 87r a assertive cutting edge to this mid-aggressive razor cutting through my stubble with ease.

A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Selin ~Turkish Lemon Cologne...Superb Stuff!.

My face is feeling fresh super smooth, & smelling devine.

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

OOOOH WEEEE! Let me tell ya... this Rust Belt Reserve soap is in a different league... if you like the regular base, then you'll love this... for me, ‘Forest City Fern’ stands head and shoulders above the regular line up.. right from the 'get go', I could tell it was going to be something special.. and, with a faultless show from ‘The Rock’/GSB, this was a truly fantastic shave... finished off with Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve, and Moss Breches... a fantastic start to my bank holiday weekend.
