Soap & Aftershave Barrister & Mann Vespers
Brush Yaqi 22mm Joy Butterscotch Boar
Razor Henkels & Friodur 472
Very nice extra creamy and slick lather from this soap including the unique scent backed up by the matching balm...
This razor is just superb. Soft buttery smooth and very keen edge maintained only on 0.1um balsa and Kanayama. 3passes for a bbs-dfs finish...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.
Great shave this morning. Tried out another new soap/cream this morning, Modial's "Mandarino E Spezie" (Mandarin & Spices). This soap IMO is the perfect rendition of a true "croap". Similar in character to Cella's soft soaps, I was able to easily press it into a spare soap container for use and storage. Lightly scented but great-smelling with mandarin with peppery cinnamon being the primary notes. The lather was less dense than I prefer, but I chalk that up to being more my fault than the soap's. Some soaps, as I'm sure you have also found, take a bit of time to learn the proper water-to-soap ratios. Still, the lather was very slick and did provide an acceptable amount of cushion. Two passes with the Fatboy and I finished with a splash of Floid "Vigoroso" and a generous spray of Creed "Tabarome".
Hope you have a wonderful day.

Cream & Aftershave MacaRoot & Aloe
Brush Yaqi 24mm Bali Silvertip
Razor Wade & Butcher Steamship 7/8 Wedge
Good enough lather from this cream whipped up nicely with the plush soft brush. The cream and AS scent+cooling are just splendid! This heavyweight razor's edge is now keener yet softly smooth, thanks to the combination of diamond balsa & Kanayama stroping. 3passes for a dfs-ccs finish...

Parker Semi-Slant Razor
Feather DE Blade (1)
Larry's Synthetic Brush, 28/55
Institut Karite Shaving Soap
Institut Karite After Shave Balm
Being on the mild side of medium to me, the Parker Semi-Slant pairs very well with a sharp blade like the Feather
. Two passes to a clean and close shave.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave with which to end the month. Went back to "Cosmo" from Saponificio Varesino. Great spicy, woody combo with a blast of citrus on the top. Excellent lather from the "REM Cycle" sweet-spot badger for two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with the matching ASL and Divine's "L'Homme Sage" EdT.
Hope you have a wonderful day.
