SOS: March 2021

I've really enjoyed testing some new soaps this month. I decided to make march "menthol March", and coincidentally two of the soaps I was testing this month to write reviews were highly mentholated. The reviews for the Bundubeard Sanga Symphony and Kameelperds Kick as well as the Master Soap creations citrus melody will be coming out in the next few days.

All three soaps have really managed to impress me, especially the citrus melody, I've wanted a mentholated citrus scented soap made locally in South Africa for a long time!

Quick 2 pass shave. The Williams soap performs really good with my water, we must have softer water here apparently. The British aristocrat, not only is it gorgeous to look at but it also shaves beautifully. A splash of aqua velva to finish the shave off. And a little bit of Shulton old spice cologne. Where warm spicy meets cold menthol, seems like a hell of a “shave storm” but it works. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

Razor: Everready British 1912- MFG 1936-53, excellent mid range, best gripping handle of the 1912's models, great results.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(10) excellent blade, very sharp, good longevity, smooths out nicely over time + predictable.
Soap : Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore, nice mild vanilla tobacco scent, excellent lather qualities, excellent post shave feel.
Brush: Yaqi Moka Express synthetic, eye candy, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle scrub, easy to grip, great lather painter, first use of this pleasant to use knot & brush, it has softer back bone than other yaqi knots IMO but gives a nice gentle scrub IMO.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of Clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cols water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + 1 blemish weeper = Excellent shave with my ER British 1912 with a coated Gem Blade.
