Saturday
DE day today. I love my Mühle R 89 but have been considering a vintage DE (again). I saw a couple on the Executive Shaving web page; one of them gold plated. I’d like an aggressive one, I think…
I used the ‘Wake up Rosemary’ shave soap sample I’d received from Scott (Mastershake). A very nice fellow, judging by his communication, and a very nice soap. It’s got a minty scent with undertones of Rosemary (to my nose). I like really strong scented soaps and creams, and for me, I’d like this a bit stronger. It lathers really well. I’m normally a cream, rather than a soap, person, so I’m not all that used to lathering soaps; it’s a different skill. Today’s attempt was better than the last two times, I’m getting used to adding more water. I did consider an Überlather with the Faulding’s ‘Shave’ cream, but I’d like to see me get this soap to ‘stand on its own’ first.
The Astra blade did well on its second use, and the Proraso Liquid Cream After Shave was exactly what was needed on a sunny Autumn morning before a walk in the forest…
(PS, I'm probably getting a little carried away with GIMP's filters
)

Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Super shaver one pass shave minor touch up, the Vito's Italian soap is without doubt a super product, out of all the soaps and creams i've tried so far this one leads the field by a long way.

It really shaves well after my last honing session with it. The felt and leather did it wonders today and it continues to becomes smoother.
