O Melhor ASB
The Semogue 2000 is a typical barber's brush, and very used by barbers in Portugal, specially in the northern side of the country.
The use of soaps is not widespread nowadays, not even among barbers, as soaps are not easily available here. The "Men's Estoril Sports Line" cream is very used by Portuguese barbers also - specially around Lisbon, where it is produced.
As for O Melhor, its packaging has an history - it is based on a vintage package of "powder shaving soap", produced by Confiança, that was available in the 1940's and widely used by portuguese barbers then.

Oh JBM Violetas... A scent that smells magnificent really makes your morning that much better. I honestly don't know why I haven't finished it off but its that good. I wish JBM made this stuff into a hardsoap. I would truly love it in soap form. Making lather from a SSoap is lot more therapeutic/calming. Its the one thing that makes Wet Shaving amazing to me. I'm sure for others its the same. Any who, today's was certified BBS. Have a wonderful day my Friends!

Jabonman is making a lot of appearances amongst members lately. Is it a soft soap or a cream, Balaji, and where did you buy it from? A fabulous pic as always, my friend!
Awesome Zen-like shot, Lamb Root. Simple and beautiful.
What a sublime photo, Ivan! It's adorable!
Wonderful close-up, Alex! What's your opinion of the GZD stick? For me it's a good performer but a little too soft for my liking in stick form.

It's actually funny b/c you would think a boar shaving brush would work with just any shaving soap. But that wasn't the case for today's shave. Don't get me wrong, my shave was still great but I didn't get the lather that I wanted as always. The lather consistency that I like is thick/meringue style. I get a better lather with a badger brush for MW and I think today was the verdict. So hopefully the next time I use MW, a badger brush would be my choice for creating lather. Hopefully I'll remember lol. Have a wonderful day my friends!

And yet another fantastic Japanese western! A magnificent collection of products here, Keith!
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson Wee Scot
Razor: Max Sprecher
Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan
Soap: QCS Briar
After shave: Mennen Skin Bracer
Results: My smallest brush and my biggest razor, lovely combination Great shave, but the point on the razor showed why I should take caution of it, three times it wanted to dig into my skin, but I managed to stop it before it drew blood. (I might have been a bit too cocky )
Fantastic looking Aiku, Mark! I would say mine carries one of the best edges of the straights that I have.
Balaji, I have never felt comfortable using a boar with anything other than Italian soft soaps. This is not to say that boars are not suited to hard, triple-milled and other soaps, just that badgers work better for me. I am planning on using my fairly new Semogue 2000 on Martin de Candre sometime this week(prob friday), just to refresh my memory.
