Hi Friends,

Here is my Wednesday Shave (06.03.2022)


Razor: Mulcuto Schrägschnitt // Blade: Personna red // Soap: La Savonniere du Moulin // Brush: Plisson Synthetic // Aftershave: Faene Xylon & Myrtle

I bought the soap the last days on a recommendation of a colleague in our German FB Group. He told me that the scent would be so good and the lather (for him) would be one of THE best out there. So i was hooked and had to buy this soap.

It came in a very unique tin (as you can see a bit on the pic). Lovely. It is a very hard puck, comparable with Saponificio Varesino or Klar.

The scent of the soap is weak but extremely nice and comfy. A light note of flowers (Florals) mixed with some honey. I would call it an all year scent.

So i tried to get it out of the tin (which has been quite tricky) and startet lathering with my damp Plisson Synthetic. 20 second was all i needed. First i thought: Big, airy bubbles…

Once brought to the face and lathered for a few swirls, the lather started to explode. It got thicker and thicker, creamier and slicker. So i added a few drops of water and kept lathering on my face. Maaan, this thing can take some water, i can tell you that…

After i had finished the lather i loaded the Mulcuto with a fresh Personna red. The first strokes were…nothing but amazing. This lather is SO cushiony, that it is a pure joy. Easily in my top 3 of the thickest, dense lathers i had so far. The lather felt so nice on my skin.

So, three passes later i had nothing but „glad skin“. No irritation or something negative. The only „downside“ if you would like to call it like this, is that my skin was getting warm after good 30 minutes. But this can be my skin and not the soap, because the last days i had stressed skin due to too much work and very less free time. I ´ll keep my eyes on it.

So far i love this soap. Highly recommended.

Ladies and Gentlemen, take your time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

 

There's a PlissON brush? What's the difference between the PlissON and PlissOFT?

 

Tuesday's recipe:

Much the same as today, but for the


Brush-Stoylin "No-Name" Synth.

This is an Original Plisson Brush. As far as i am informed, all PliSOFT Knots are a clone of this knot. Because of this they all have different names. Only the Original Plisson Brush has the name „Plisson“, all other ones „Plissoft“ or something like that.

I hope i am right, if not, please correct me.

Greetings
Thorsten

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #414
ISKRA Safety Razor
PolSilver Super Iridium
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #414 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the ISKRA Safety Razor with a PolSilver Super Iridium Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/King C. Gillette day 7
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
Prep ASB
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

Once again my face is totally frozen from this shave and it feels great. The Glacial Strawberry Lemonade is one of the newest Glacials which Rod launched last spring and I absolutely LOVE it. The strawberry dominates the scent but you can still catch the lemony notes, the soap’s lather is so easy to work up, it’s so rich, slick, and protective, it’s less thirsty than the other Glacials, the menthol sensation hits like a ton of bricks, and the skincare is perfect. Needless to say the Prep is my favourite balm, and the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave has the same gorgeous scent as the soap and it’s a bona fide face freezer. Smoother than silk from three passes - what a brilliant shave this was!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and safe!
