  I’ve stropped the edge with 1 mark before this shave, and it was very smooth. I’d be very suprised if tomorrow’s edge can beat this.

  What’s this about?

    I don’t think you’ll find a better soap base for this comparison. Lovely razors!

  Verdigris is so nice. I can’t wait for the full line up to drop. X also feels right to wear on a slightly chilled day.

  • Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/AP Shave Co 24mm Titanium Synthetic

  • Lather: Areffa Soap - Kentucky Bourbon - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner

  2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.

  This Areffa soap from Ukraine is excellent. They nailed the Kentucky Bourbon scent and the bear tallow base is rich, silky and slick. Today’s shave was from a sample, but I think I need to buy this one.
