Fatip/Fawcett/Fine
View attachment 291598
24 hours
Prep = 3x cold water soak, Jermyn Street preshave
Soap = Captain Fawcett's Scapicchio
Brush = Omega Pura Setola
Bowl = Timeless, still my go-to bowl
Razor = Fatip Lo Storto OC slant
Blade = Gillette 7 o’clock super platinum Black (2)
Passes = 2 ++ including ATG top lip super BBS
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, CWR, brush squeezings, CWR, Thayers. Fine Latigo ASL
Comments = Loaded from the puck, a bit messy, next time I will scoop into the Timeless bowl and see how that works. Lovely soap, needs a fair bit of water and some elbow grease but well worth the effort for a lovely lather, great slickness, no hint of drying out mid-shave
Scent profile: Allegedly Fig, Olive and Bay Rum. My olfactory senses must be somewhat blunted, however I did get a hint of Fig along the way somewhere. I would have to say this has a very mild scent
Perhaps it will get stronger as I use it more. Let’s see
(Power back on after 27 hours: they reconnected last night at 6 pm after damaged cables were repaired and dug back underground: phew just in time for another 40+ Centigrade day)
More dry heat tomorrow
Keep well, one and all
