Whoever said that English soaps were bad was absolutely wrong, nothing to do with the harsh reality, they are very good believe me are forgotten with impunity without reason, if not prove, you will give me the reason.

Quien dijo que los jabones ingleses eran malos se equivocaba rotundamente, nada que ver con la cruda realidad, son buenísimos creedme están olvidados impunemente sin motivos, si no probarlos ,me daréis la razón.

Dad gum it, I shaved closer than anyone posting today! Wasn’t a BBS, but a DFS that wins the Purple Heart I think On the first pass no less! Still getting over the tail end of the dark side learning curve. IF I draw blood, it’s always with the toe! Always in the same place! I soldiered through it figuring what the heck- play through!

At any rate-

Razor: Carbon Steel 5/8”
Blood type: A+
Brush: Parker Silvertip
Soap: Catie’s Bubbles Celtic Knot
Aftershave Balm: L’Occitan
Medic: Styptic Pencil

Mediterranean Lavender shave today:

Brush: Semogue SOC Taj Boar - this is breaking in really nicely after 5 shaves. It may be my holy grail boar brush, just perfect
Soap: MdC Original
Razor: Fatip Piccolo v1 - So far my favorite Fatip, better than both v2 (OC and Gentile). Super smooth and efficient. I love the feedback provided by the huge blade reveal, at the same time there is no chatter because the blade is clamped to the comb
Blade: Astra green (5th shave) - Does not give the closest shave, but it is very smooth and great for daily shaves. I should use it more frequently
Aftershave: Myrsol Agua Balsamica - pairs very well with MdC Original
EdT: Penhaligon's Lavandula
