Tuesday
Prep: Hot Shower
Soap: La Toja Manantiales, face-lathered
Brush: Rubberset 507
Razor: E4 Gillette Fatboy(7)
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (1)
AS: Tabac
ASB: L'Oreal Comfort Max
Fragrance: Tabac EdC
1st: N-S, 2nd: S-N, 3rd: ATG where needed. Result: VG, nearly DFS.
I picked up the Rubberset brush at an antique mall in Destin, Florida while on vacation. The brush looks quite good and still has a nice shape and good backbone. It did, however, lose a number of bristles this morning. I may end up having to learn how to restore a brush. Its petite size is ideal for loading in the somewhat narrow La Toja wooden bowl. This was my first time using the La Toja Manantiales since picking it up on BST a few weeks ago. It lathered well, much like the La Toja shaving stick. But it did not have much scent. I was not pleased with the Rapira blade today. It was sharp enough, but not smooth enough.
