Out of all the razors i own the Fon Golden Star would have to be my favourite, not only as a shaver, but the quality and finish are without equal, i always love looking at this razor no matter how many times i see it.

Bath House soap is amazing! It really did lather exceptionally well and held together. I wish that I had picked up the AS to complement it!

Have a great weekend,

So, I finally got to try some of the new products I picked up at Pasteur's pharmacy. This was by far the best shave I have had since I began wet shaving. Every product I used today was my first time trying it except for the Tweezerman brush. The Musgo Real shaving cream was the first cream I've used so far and it was great. Face lathered easily and it had a wonderful smell. Used a Blue Bird blade in my new Merkur 34c which gave me the closest smooth shave I've had so far. My first truly BBS shave! To finish it off I used Speick aftershave splash which went on strong but mellowed out nicely, leaving a mild lingering scent. The added weight the Merkur 34c had compared to the 23c long handle, definitely improved the cutting action of the blade. I was really impressed with how good it shaved. I would highly recommend all of these products to anyone new to wet shaving and to anyone else who has never tried them. You won't be disappointed.
