Today's Shave - "Kansas City Southern"
Brush: Raven Brush Works Willow Wolf
Soap: Summer Break Picture Day
Razor: "Doc Holliday" - Asylum RX SE (Feather Pro Guard blade)
Finally a proper SOTD!
I am particpating in a passaround in the East Coast Wet Shavers group on Facebook. Up last night was Picture Day by Summer Break Soaps. The soap is a tallow base, and it is a medium firmness in the tub. The scent is an interpretation of a traditional barbershop scent, with lavernder, bergamot, black pepper, tonka bean, and other delicsiousness. It was a sturdy scent with a touch of pleasant sharpness. Strength of scent was 3/5 from the tub, blooming to 4/5 during the shave.
The lather from my bowl was right in the wheelhouse of what I expect from a good tallow soap. The slickness was very good, and the cushion was above average. With still voer a dozen shaves on the Pro Guard blade, I got a BBS in 2 passes with cleanup. Post shave comfort was not quite what I look for, so I had to splash on some Skin Bracer as soon as the shave was over to cool it down.

All in all it was a terrific shave with a scent that really turned my prop.
Today's song is a terrific Red Dirt Country toe-tapper!
