Today the spanish shaving gang:

Brush: Vie-long 16726
Razor: Jose Monserrat Pou 14 "Medallon Taurino"
Strop: Ambrose cordovan #25 fabric, #50 leather
Preshave: Myrsol emulsion
Soap: Manantiales de la Toja
Lotion: Manantiales de la Toja
Clologne: Manantiales de La Toja



Sometimes the spanish products are underrated by the spanish people that sometimes prefer (I'm guilty too) exotic soaps and lotions from overseas than the regular La Toja or this version of Manantiales, .... In the other part, the overrated stuff, as the Filarmonicas and Palmeras, today is dificcult to find a razor in size 13 or 14 for less than 250 € ,.... some years ago it was easy to find beauties as the razor of the pic at a reasonable price.

BTW great shave. Have a great Sunday gentlemen!
