Scott’s loving on his Riga inspired me to bring out mine. @Keithmax suggested it to me in a PM discussing artisan razors some years ago. It’s a fantastic razor with an amazing shave

Sunday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Rapira day 7
MSC Ruby Forest SS
Proraso Blue ASB
English Leather AS Splash

Once again I must point out that Fernando’s soaps are all treasures - his Ruby Forest is something else - the scent profile is so beautiful - it’s an exact copy of Dunhill Red Desire, thanks to the tallow formula the lather is so thick, rich, creamy, and slick, not to mention how great the skincare is. The Proraso Blue balm has awesome soothing as well as moisturizing, and the English Leather aftershave smells so old school the way I love it. Another three pass super duper BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and stay safe!

The Musgo Real Shave Soap lathered well with the Heldtite Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
