    What a beautiful brush.
    Do you know what wood it's made from?

    Thank you, sir. I believe it is Chechen, also known as Caribbean Rosewood. Wonderful wood with interlocking grains.

    Simple Saturday SOTD – a sharp blade, a nice brush and a super cream

    Many of the reviews I have done over the time since I started wet shaving have been of high end soaps and creams. That’s just the way it tends to be – I mean why not show off your best right? A lot of us forget that out there in the wet shaving wild there are dozens if not hundreds of everyday soaps and creams that are priced from less than a dollar to the mid twenties and all points in between. One such soap I used today – Musgo Real.

    Now Musgo Real is, in my opinion, worthy of a place in everyone’s shave chit. Mugso Real is a light very pale green cream soap from Portugal – you can find it HERE.

    The fragrance is what I can only describe as manly, barbershop, masculine and just nice. Soapy – yes. The fragrance notes on their website simply says “Woody and Oriental” but to me it is much more complex than that – yes those notes are there and can be detected but that is behind the soapy smell – the soapy smell of a laundry day with your Mum, the scent of a freshly dried cotton bed sheet that has been washed by that same Mum and then dried in the glowing sunlight of a summers day – y’getting it?

    [​IMG]

    From the website:

    “Musgo Real was first launched in the 1930s, and it remains a classic, found in Portuguese houses over several generations.

    The brand retains its masculine aesthetic, while the products, offered in four different fragrances, have kept their rich formula.

    Each of its lines are blended with lanolin, glycerin, shea butter and walnut oil to ensure a moisturizing, yet close shave. The range includes soaps, shaving cream or soap, aftershave, pre-shave oil and colognes.”

    Luxury masculine aesthetic products with vintage inspiration!!

    The rest of my stuff for today was:
    • Merkur Futur
    • Feather Blade on shave #1
    • Van Yulay black resin bowl
    • Future Chubby Prototype in black with a 28mm silver tip badger
    Musgo Performance

    I squeezed out a teaspoon full of the cream into my bowl. The badger knot had been soaking for ten minutes whilst I showered so I started lathering up. Take a look at the results – click on a photo for a closer look! This is after less than 2 minutes twirling…

    I completed a three pass with plenty of lather to spare.I cut my nose, just I was feeling smug the Feather cut me. Styptic.

    What can I say, if you don’t have Musgo then you NEED to buy some. My tube has a darker green colour and the current tube colour is a lighter shade but it is the same great soap.

    And for those that like photos – here are the rest of the photos from today’s shave
