Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave.)

The La Barbiera shaving soap produced an excellent lather in a short space of time. I find the soap works well with face & bowl lathering, building up a lather with a my damp boar brush gives great results adding water to the tips of the brush to get the lather to the consistency I prefer.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #457 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Red Tip Razor and the Gillette Super Blue Blade X3 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thanks. It produces quite a lovely sound for a 400-year-old bowl.

Tuesday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 4
De Vergulde Hand SS
De Vergulde Hand ASB
De Vergulde Hand AS Spray (discontinued)

The De Vergulde Hand soap is over 450 years old so I would say the company knows what it’s doing - the scent is beautiful, it lathers like a champ, and it’s very good for sensitive skin. The matching balm is so moisturizing as well as soothing, and the aftershave spray smells exactly like the soap and balm, and does it ever feel good after a bit of a sting. Three glorious passes gave me an awesome BBS shave - did I ever enjoy it!

Have a super duper day - be well and safe!

The Vintage Spice soap smells exactly like the Shulton Old Spice - at least to me. What do you think? Great shave on your side!
