Hope you all are having a wonderful morning.   Today’s shave meets this month’s theme for a basic shave plus my self imposed theme of the Gemini.
My first introduction to the Santa Fe Soap Ranch shaving soap was 6 years ago while visiting New Mexico for my niece’s wedding.  I found it in a farmer’s market.  My first soap was the Tobacco Caramel.  The current soap, the Redwood Vetiver is a soap with a subtle Vetiver scent.  It provides a nice, thick lather that offers a slick surface for the blade to pass over.  This is especially appreciated when using a shavette.  This soap is an economical hard soap which I grated into a mug.  A little water to bloom while in the shower set up the ease of loading.
The Razor Retro shavette, a feather AC type razor, found on Aliexpress, delivered a clean and comfortable three pass shave without any incident.  The alum block pass over confirmation of no heat is an added bonus.
The WH, AV M and SGB put a nice finishing touch on a great shave.  Feeling and smelling great  to get on with my day.  Have a fabulous  Friday gentlemen.
