Prep: Hot towel
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum
Brush: Shavemac 24/48 D01 2 Band
Soap: Faena: Dorica
Post: Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Fragrance: Limited 71 Extrait de Parfum by WIDIAN
I haven't used the Faena soap for literally donkey's years.. it was just a dried out lump in the tub.. so, after a long bloom, the D01 whipped it into a fine luscious lather.. it was a very old basic base with plenty of tallow, which left a very nice post feel, but I found it a bit lacking during the shave, and unfortunately I overworked the shave in a couple of spots.
Shaving.. to be enjoyed, not endured.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Excellent shave this morning. New soap/splash/razor day with the arrival of "Atomic Peach" soap and splash along with the "straight" razor from The Hoy Black. So first, the soap / splash. The excellent quality of the lather is a given from PAA, but the scent is phenomenal! Bay Rum + peach may sound like a strange combination but, like bay rum with other fruit scents, this works wonderfully. Great lather built with the Simpson Chubby 2. I was eager to break in the straight so I decided I'd use it for the first WTG pass. I avoid using straights/shavettes on weekday mornings because I shave in the shower and that's not the place to use a filly exposed, literally "razor sharp" hunk of metal. After the first pass, I finished up the shave with the '56 Super Speed followed by alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit and Orange Rind witch hazel, the matching aftershave lotion, Pecksniff's "Grapefruit and Citron" talc & Ogallala "Double Strength Bay Rum" EdC.
Hope you have a great day.
