Jason's 30DC brush
DIY PSO
PannaCrema Verde
Alum/Thayers/Stirling EM Balm
Being Father's Day, I decided to grab from my Pasteur's visit a reknown soap, PannaCrema. I could not afford more than one and so chose the Verde scent. The site describes it well all I can say is that it is on the lighter side and wonderful. Damp brush and a few drops on the soap and it loaded within 30 seconds with a ton of soap. I whipped up a glorious thick and cushiony lather that was very good in slickness and used this for the first pass. Each pass I would add some more water and it took it no problem. In the end it was an excellent soap, great slickness and top thickness and cushion. It took a total of 4 passes because ,I think, the blade was dulling and should have been replaced. The last pass I did with the Rockwell 6C/Rockwell blade. This razor felt much better with this soap to me. Alum was light in sting/tingle. For an old blade, it was an epic shave. BBS was achieved. Post shave felt great but I tend to like insurance so I applied some Stirling Executive Man Balm. I need to remember this is not Nivea and need much,much less. I had to work it in otherwise I would have had a white face like it was coated in cheap paint. Yeah, I overdid the Balm. Face Definitely feels great.
This is choice soap. I can see why it is so loved.
Now for a day with my daughter, father and father in-law.
