@Marco I liked it, hair is special, I've never tasted anything like, not much difference with the 2 bands of Simpsons
Semogue, Cella and a Slim; if you didn't get a great shave you only have yourself to blame
I really like the vintage look of the photo .
Close-ups a plenty this morning, and love this "old" look here, Matt.
Bela, the first time I saw this cream in a photo of yours was on 1st April. When I saw rhubarb, I seriously thought it was an April fool! But obviously not. Great Friodur and an amazing shave/pic!
Thank you, David. You had another beauty today.

For today's shave I face lathered using the ever so famous Marco Method using SMN. Today's lather was the best/densest I ever got with SMN and it was great! Although I did squeeze a little bit of water out of the bristles before loading the 1438. SMN is best used this way. In any case, If someone was on a budget and wanted excellent SBrushes that are boar I would 110% recommend the Semogue 1800 & 1438. The best value for under $30 owning both. Then you can slowly expand when wanted. Well enough from me. I hope you all have an excellent day!

Lovely pic, Balaji! I suppose the SMN shaving cream will soon be reformulated to a paraben-free formula, just like Proraso. For those who do not know, both are made by the same manufacturer - Ludovico Martelli company.

Great pic as always, Balaji! A question for you. Is SMN a hard cream like AdP? I see you used a wet brush as for soaps.
Thank you David, greatly appreciated! SMN is actually the same consistency as Proraso SS but a bit harder. I mean you can still scoop an almond size amount of cream out the tub but personally don't want too. Its a face latherer dream soap!
