Round 1, Match 3: Barrister and Mann - Cool vs Ballenclaugh - Old Barber Menthe
Shave 1: Barrister and Mann - Cool
The Setup:
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Feather Stainless
Brush: Perfecto Pure Badger
Mug: Henry Cavendish
Post Shave: Witch Hazel and Cetaphil
I must be doing something wrong. This soap was not near as slick as I was expecting. I used what I learned from Noble Otter and the soap ended up good, but not great. At one point, I had a good thick lather, but it didn't seem wet enough so I slowly added more water. The bubbles got bigger and the soap got thinner. Is it possible to build a lather for too long? I still had a good shave though.
The scent was nice. I got a compliment from my wife. That's always a plus.
The very light menthol in this soap left me wanting more. Looking forward to exploring menthol soaps more.
WTG and XTG and touchup for a DFS.
