Hadn't shaved since Tuesday and today had to be special. I decided to use a Lilac and Patchouli über combo. Mama Bear produces some of the most marvelous artisan shave soaps out there. It ranks amongst the top performers in my book . The RN brush whipped up a rich and luxurious lather that was out of this world with a scent that was equally hypnotizing. The Bartmann is a superb shaver. After refreshing her edge on the stones, she took on a keen and ultra smooth edge. Took her straight to my face without stropping. This shave was super nice and comfortable.
Have an AMAZING Sunday gentlemen .
Cheers,
Robert
