Pulled out the wifeys personal favorite, “Massacre of the Innocents”.
Gotta admit, the soap is probably the top soap I’ve used to date. Scent is great, but the lather and slickness are exceptional.
Paired it with an unscented balm (the best in the market), and my Shapleigh - Diamond Edge.
As a footnote, the Mühle brush is the worst brush I’ve ever purchased. It was expensive, and originally came with the cheapest, lopsided, badger hair knot I’ve ever seen.
I hated it so much, that I took the chance of totally ruining it by removing the original knot, drilling the cavity larger, and inserting a synthetic knot I purchased from Maggard.
It was a success. The synthetic knot is one of my favorite knots to shave with now. But you can still see the grey epoxy line between the knot and the handle. (Call it “character”). ��
Definitely an exceptional shave this morning.
