SHAVE FOR THE 26TH OF JANUARY 2015
Hello all:
Another fantastic shave with the "Mé Siroco" soap. It has a sandalwood fragance, however it has very nice touches of mandarin, coffee and chocolate which makes it very subtle. This soap creates a awesome lather, not as much as an English cream, but your skin will really feel the slickness, protection and moisturizing effects. The cute anecdote is the color of the lather which is a soft orange, it is fantastic!!!
Pre: Nothing
Soap: Siroco from Mé
Brush: artisan @druida, model: barber, 24mm x 50mm, badger Finest Manchurian
Razor: Above The Tie M1
Blade: Feather 3rd use
Basalm: BullDog
After Shave: Myrsol "Agua Balsamica"
Lather in Suribachi
RESULT:
The fragrance is not intense or strong, it more subtle than I expect and like. However, it is quite a adorable smell once it is lathered, specially when we can detect that touch of mandarin and coffee. What I really love about shaving with the Mé soaps is that after each shaving pass, I spread out with my hands the remainder of lather in my face til it is absorbed completely by my skin. The properties of this lather will create an extra layer of slickness and protection that will make the second pass of the blade extremely soft and pleasurable.
What can I say about the ATT? It is a great razor, soft but effective till the end and it produces a sound that is angel music to our ears. The M1 is extremely soft but it does the job without a doubt.
