First Shave With MDC Soap.
This morning I used Martin De Candre Soap for the first time. I also used for the very first time my new Thater 4125/6 B. I shaved with Recently purchased NOS Puma 5/8 Razor.
First the soap. It truly is a very nice Soap. A luxury item for sure. I bought the original scent and it’s really nice but not overpowering. I loaded the brush and lathered in a bowl which I have only done one other time and that was with TOBS cream. The lather worked up quickly and the soap is nice and slick. I think the best thing about the soap is that it’s a really good value if it lasts as long as people say. I’ll be rotating Tabac, Castle Forbes, And one maybe two others so I’ll probably use the MDC twice a week at the most.
The new Thater 4125/6. This is a BIG BRUSH 35mm Bulb knot. It is so dang soft on my face. Love it and the size 4 in the same brush I bought a couple weeks ago.
The NOS Puma gave me a really nice smooth shave. It arrived DEFINITELY NOT SHAVE READY. These are the first new razors I have bought since 1995. The first test shave didn’t quite pass so I worked on it some more yesterday and it was easily passing the HHT.
All in all a very nice shave.
