Not a perfect morning, but gray enough.
A powdery soap was what I craved and I used it: the De Vergulde Hand.
And I wanted to prove that one can't always tell a book by its cover and therefore one can’t tell a soap by its bowl, but, certainly, with a nice wooden bowl, the puck looks better than in the blue plastic one.
If I had been smarter in the beginning, I would have used it on the other side, leaving the logo intact.
Used as a stick, it's definitely better than higher-priced soaps: the layer that settles on the skin is much more consistent and the lathering is quicker.
And the aesthetics of the soap at rest is definitely superior!
I felt excellent glide and not the poor protection, of which I care little for: I'm full of aftershaves and balms!
And I used the blade I didn't like with the Maggard and the result was incredible: it was excellent.
The poor results I complained about depended, therefore, on the razors, which is weird because vintage razors usually give excellent results with virtually any blade.
I'm glad I made this discovery: I won't have to get rid of them.
It was the third time in a row that I listened to this record: I really like it!
PS The bottle of EdT is shot from reverse is for a precise stylistic decision.
