I'm starting to thin out my den so I'm trying something different. I have 2 soaps with similar scents so I'm trying to decide between the 2 on which to keep. I used the SV and B-400 on my left side and the Route 66 and WildWest on my right. I prefer the scent of the Route 66 barely over the SV but it's close. Both easily lathered up however the SV produced a more stable lather; the Route 66 was thinner and bubbly while the SV was thick and creamy. Both offered good protection, glide and had enough residual slickness to allow for buffering. The alum was the deciding factor. It was completely silent on the SV side but there was a slight burn on the Route 66 side. In the fairness of science I'm going to repeat this shave but change sides and brushes before I make the final decision however this round goes to Saponificio Varesino. Have a great day folks!

Have a great day friends!

Tuesday morning April 2nd with one of my favorite scents.

Feather Blade
Fendrihan closed comb head
Charcoal Goods handle
Brad Sears badger brush
Sterling Executive Man soap & a/s

Tuesday morning’s SOTD:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Rapira day 6
Wriggly Tin Vanilla Patchouli SS
Dave’s Homemade ASB
Proraso Sandalwood AS Splash

Even though the Rapira blade is starting to show signs of slight tugging it still performed very well and I ended up with a great BBS shave in just two passes. This Vanilla Patchouli soap from Wriggly Tin in South Africa has a strong, but very nice scent as well as fantastic lather that stays stable and it’s made with goat milk to help promote smooth, healthy skin. My good friend Dave sent me a big sample of his homemade balm which smells great and is so soothing and moisturizing. The Proraso Sandalwood aftershave is another delight - even the wife loves the scent!

Welcome back Robert! We miss seeing your posts. Hope all is well.

SOTD:
Todays shave was absolutely fantastic, ive mastered lathering the reitzer, its definitely a soap you need to soak, even if its just with a teaspoon of water for five minutes. Its a really great soap for sure!

Thanks Joseph! Things are a bit easier now that the baby is 6 months. I’m hoping to be around more often, I miss all my friends.
