SoTD 2014.03.26 - Das Straight Beats Le Pere

Prep pre,
Le Pere Lucien, LE w/ Nightdivers brush,
Timor Straight - 5/8,
Floid Blue, sul filo del rasio.

Recently picked up this tub of Le Pere Limited Edition soap - I believe it's called Mango something or other, but in all honesty, I didn't really notice a massive difference between it and the regular soap. I'll need to do a little side by side to see if I'm wrong or if there's just a bit of a signature scent in the Le Pere line that comes through. At any rate, it makes a nice, slick lather, which is great for a straight. The Timor is a decent little blade; pretty smooth running and comfortable. I need to hit the scales with black-light to see if they glow (my guess is they will). The rest was pretty grand. Be swell, folks.
