Kiehl's something-or-other for hot shower prep
Sampsons All-Natural Shaving Soap ...

STOP THE PRESSES. A last-minute substitution here. The postman just delivered a new tin of IanS Orange/Lavender Soap with Tallow ... so it will get the nod today. Sampsons can wait. IanS's soap looks (and smells) very promising!

Monday:

Synthetic 23mm knot from TGN in my father's Surrey (VDH) handle
Soap w. goat milk purchased on eBay
1st pass: Gillette Vector handle w. Personna cartridge
2nd pass & touchup: Super Adjustable set at 3 w. Wilkinson Super Sword Edge blade
Target Witch Hazel
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2009 version.

I first tried this soap over a year ago. It comes in a green puck, about 2 in. dia. and 1 in. thick.
It was so heavily fragranced back then, the irritation to my skin was more than I could stand.
I've since aired it out from time to time and decided to try it again recently. There may still be
a hint of irritation, but the lather and shave are great.
 
Pre: Village Barber oil
Soap: Old Spice
Brush: M&F L7 Coral 2-band
Razor: EJ DE89 with Templ8 custom handle
Blade: Rainbow (1)
Post: Old Spice ASL, followed by Village Barber balm


Old Spice Monday. Amazing lather...again. 2.5 pass BBS. Sorry, not a silvertip. It will be tomorrow.
