I was drinking while your message appeared and I choke!

 

A Bay Rum shave with Colonel Conk and Stirling Soap;

 

2020-06-27, Saturday

It gives me a sense of revenge to satisfy confessable desires: I had a desire for orange blossom and there’s no way that this will arouse the reproach of an old bigot spinster!

I don’t remember if anyone said Dr. Harris gives a hard time in lathering. But it doesn't matter: it does beautifully.

The Zenith does an excellent job and only Feather showed signs of wear and tear: she shaved, but not with the pleasant pleasantness of her first times or Kai's.

The balm is excellent, not greasy and absorbs quickly, but it does not offer the nourishment of those of the Laboratori Lirici. And even the fragrance is not equal.
But the result was, in any case, very satisfactory.

The only thing out of tune about shaving today is the photo, but you’re used to that…

The questions remains...why?

 

Quite eloquent, Sergio. Grazie.

 

Mostly, just because conventional wisdom says it can't work.

The Musgo Real Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #2 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Joseph Elliot gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tommy, does it lather easily?

 

Grazie?

 

Last night's shave

Razor - Tanifuji Ba'Ba it's around a 6/8" I absolutely love this razor. Consistently gives me smooth comfortable shaves. It also, mowed down 7 days growth. I hadn't shaved since last friday. Cut threw it like a hot knife through butter.

Strop - Dubl Duck Special No1 Cordovan. The strop does all the talking for itsself. I am very happy this is part of my collection.

Brush - The CaYuen Hybrid with a 24mm DSCOSMETIC 2 band. First use with this knot. I ordered it March 04 and just received it 2 days ago. My first impression is I'm not impressed with it. Hopefully it gets better.

Soap - PAA Meta Nectar CK6 Formula

Aftershave - PAA Meta Nectar First time using PAA products at all. Have to say they are very good performing soaps and aftershaves. I do have the CK6 Formula which is supposed to kill the Tallow is better myth. My first thoughts are it gives more slickness than the tallow soaps I have used so far. The scent is nice as well. The aftershave says its aftershave and cologne. I will have to see how long it lasts.
