    I get a kick out of your theme shaves. Not in a bad way, but its a trip how you craft your themes and in some cases the expense. I dig it.

    On a bright morning, I chose an extremely mild razor and a soap not only with an excellent performance, but also with an exceptional scent.
    But of the good to treat which there I found,
    I’ll speak of what I else discovered there..


    Satisfied with the soap preparation done a few days ago, I repeated the operation: last night I repeated the operation: layed a quantity of water stoichiometrically calculated with an algorithm that took into account the temperature of the soap, of the water and the projections of temperature and pressure variations in the bathroom during the night.

    This morning the surface of the soap was a pulp, so loading the brush was a sinecure: no calculation of rotations at suitable peripheral speed not to overheat bristles or soap!
    The result was an immediate lather and adequately watery to allow an excellent shave.
    Not only that, but for the first time, the scent of lavender overpowered that of rosemary, which was still very much present.
    The scent of the Nordic soap is even better than I had perceived loading normally.

    The only defect in this procedure (if we can talk defect) is the soap consumption, but acting wisely on the algorithm, it can be reduced significantly.
    While it can be an excellent alibi to get new soaps in less biblical times!

    Thursday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Arko Shave Soap
    SlimGem Silvertip Badger
    Z1 Gillette Tech
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Vegetal AS

    The Arko Shave Soap lathered well with the SlimGem Silvertip Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Z1 Gillette Tech razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Thursday morning:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 11
    Master Soap Creations Peppermint Latte SS
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

    Back to my treasures which I bought from my dear friend Fernando - at least for today. The Peppermint Latte soap has such a beautiful espresso scent with peppermint notes, the lather works up perfectly with my Yaqi Barber Pole, the menthol sensation is heavenly, and the postshave feeling is great. The Prep and the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave were such a good finish. Another awesome three pass BBS shave which I enjoyed so much!

    Have a nice day - be well and safe!
