    Blade
    Royal 715 “Hakurai-hagane”
    Brush BSSW
    Soap + Splash HSSC “Havana Vieja”

    Quick morning shave before my 1st day back to work after a 60+ day furlough. The edge wasn’t quite right so I went back to it today after some adjustments last night.

    Blade Royal 715 “Hakurai-hagane”
    Brush Paladin
    Soap + Splash PAA “Atomic Age Bay Rum”
    Balm A&E Post Shave Serum

    Edge was improved via full Mikawa Nagura progression on my favorite Nakayama. I was able to nudge it squarely into the “sweet spot,” and ended with a great shave. Exactly what I expected from a razor with this grind/weight.

    What do you think of the Highlands Springs soap? It happens to be made in my town but so far I only have the Kootenay Blue. I see they are making hand-rendered tallow soaps now as well.

    I am a huge fan of this soap in particular. It’s the only one I’ve tried so far. Here’s what I like about it:
    1) scent- this is easily a top 3 to my palate
    2) performance- lathers easily and provides luxurious protection. Not too finicky with water qty. To boot: IIRC this is a vegan base and yet still performs on par with a Stirling or a B&M (IMO/E of course)
    3) size- I think 3oz soap portions make sense. It’s not so huge a quantity as to have a puck kicking around in my den for months, even years in my den. I enjoy selecting from an array of options based on my mood so I tend to stock a wide selection.
    4) splash- treats my skin great when the business is complete.

    I’m intrigued knowing now they’re offering tallow base. Thanks for the tip! I’m sure to support this outfit based on my current satisfaction.
