  I just started to see the bottom of the tub with this soap. I guess I like it a lot. I certainly enjoyed it today. Wonderful scent, and also a great soap base which provided a foundation for the Iwasaki to effortlessly slide through stubble.

  Enjoy your weekend!

  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps w/Maggard 28mm Silvertip Badger
  • Razor: MMOC Gen 2
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (5)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Soap
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Incorporeal - Aftershave

  This shave clicked. I don’t know if it was the blade being on #5 (around this time is a normal sweet spot in my experience), or using a better soap, or a combination of the two, but this shave was pretty much effortless.

  I had other plans for the shave today, but when I woke up, Passiflora is what I was craving. It never disappoints.

  • Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 55 mm Manchurian badger)
  • Razor: Fatip - Lo Storto - Testa Dentata
  • Blade: Derby Extra
  • Lather: Abbate y la Mantia – Don Josè
  • Post Shave: Ralon – Sport
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man

  I’ve determined that Don Josè is the perfect scent for a lazy beach hotel vacation, so I keep running with it. I paired it with a banana-coconut smoothie at the breakfast buffet, except I had to substitute the coconut for lack of coconuts. Life is full of tough choices.
