If anybody saw my post a few week ago about Penhaligon's English Fern, you may remember I wasn't a big fan of it's performance. For those who missed it, to sum it up
AlfredoT suggested I try mixing the crap stuff with a good unscented soap. This is where Nannys Silly Soap comes into it. I mixed 20g of the two as best I could using a bain-marie to test it out.
Nannys Silly Soap Unscented - Penhaligon's English Fern - Zebrawood Silvertip - Red Point 917 - Cold Water Splash - English Fern EDT

The result was very good. The soap performs well and still smells great too. Once I finish off another soap and have somewhere permanent to put this soap mixture I'll do the same with the rest of the English Fern and Nannys soaps.
Thanks Sergio!
Really good pictures gentlemen,congratulations!

Thank you, Hitemfrank
Of course I asked for his OK. And he used to set it up very fancy: small arm chairs, drapes, old small furniture...
He gets there at 5:00 AM to get it ready by 7:30/8:00!
I like to go there... (Either http://www.ilrasoio.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=5221&start=175 or http://www.ilrasoio.com/viewtopic.php?p=75268#p75268, if it works...)

SoTD 2014.08.24 - Confidence in Dat Brush
Proraso white pre
Soap Commander Confidence w/ TBS '14 LE #42
'Goose & Pro
Iced Hai Karate splash & Nivea balm
First - the soap. The SC performance is really nice with a slickness that's tough to beat. The scent is tough for me to place, but many of them have a cologne-like essence to them - pleasant, for sure. Next - da brush. It's a LE made by an etsy vendor named Jamie Holden (TurnedDesignsByJamie) and it's really a nice one. The handle is reasonably beefy, which I like and the knot chosen is excellent - super-soft tips, but not floppy at all. It was a pleasure to keep painting on for each pass. All in all - a grand Sunday shave.
Whis-Ku:
Brand new shaving brush,
She looks purdy and runs great;
A nice one for me.
