Decided to add some variety to my shaves over the last month, and I've been testing two new soaps that I was very generously sent by bundubeard, the review for the first will be coming out in the next day or two.
I used Godrej lime for the first three days and then bundubeards Kudus kick which has a medium menthol bite, perfect for a hot summers day.
After that I used the "mystery" soap bundubeard sent me along with a pack of feather seikans, which are feather's carbon steel blades.
The mystery soap has a light menthol sensation, with hints of mint and peppermint, and a vanilla undertone. It smells exactly like peppermint crisp tart, very similar to the kudu, but without the coffee or the strong menthol.
For the remainder of the month I used two variations of my favourite soap, Rooi Afrikaaner, also from bundubeard. The first was the rooi Afrikaner puck which uses the newer formulation and the second is the same soap, but in a prototype shave stick form, and its absolutely amazing. The slickness is absolutely unmatched, but I'll write a proper review on the Rooi Afrikaaner shave stick and "mystery" soap relatively soon.
I used the same razor, blade and aftershave combination all month, and got 24 fantastic shaves from the gillette minora blade paired with the Wilkinson sword classic TTO, a very under rated razor in my opinion.
The Aftershave is a mentholated aftershave made by my friend Dave from one of the South African shave forums, and its absolutely fantastic stuff, perfect for summer and it pairs fantastically with kudus kick or even the lightly mentholated mystery soap.
