Finally finished a jar of cream and it was the excellent Body Shop Maca Root, unfortunately not from the first batch but a favorite none the less. It's very easy to use, has a thick luxurious cream and is consistent, I personally enjoy it's fragrance too. The "35" razor has been one of my main work horses and provided another excellent irritation free shave today! :)
Strop: Dovo Prima Rindleder (30 linen, 75 leather)
Prep: Hot water with Nesti Dante bath soap
Soap: Valobra shave stick
Brush: E-bay Rooney with horn handle
Razor: Dovo Special 6/8
Post: Cold water splash and then alum block
After: Old Spice Original Sensitive
It's a holiday in Czech Republic today but a plumber came in the morning to repair the faucet. I picked up this brush and Valobra stick in the post office yesterday. The brush is really soft but quite floppy. I don't like the way how Valobra smells (maybe it'll grow on me later) but it makes really nice leather. I don't know if it was the soap, more stropping or something other but I got my best straight shave yet (in more than 7 months...).
