NightShave²


My first shave with the Semogue Owner's Club Badger brush and T&H West Indian Limes cream. Mere words cannot express how amazingly this brush and cream performed together.


Holy ****, Batman!


I didn't 'break-in' the brush. I soaked it in hot water with my shaving mug as I do for any other shave. Three shakes to rid it of excess water and an inch of cream in the mug. 60 seconds produced the wonderful cream you see below.


Applying the lather to my face was soft, warm, and oh-so inviting. No scratchiness with proper backbone. The hairs bloomed into a subtle flower of virgin badgers and aromatic lime cream.


For a moment I became lost in the intoxicating scent. Imagining myself galloping along the beach in the Caico's islands. Enjoying a fresh squeezed lime while gulping my island rum with utter abandon.


Nary a care in the world.

Brush: Plisson Synthetic
Soap: Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Post-shave: Alum, Stirling Vetiver alcohol free Witch Hazel, South Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 
Second try with Williams and I got a pretty good shave with it considering. The stuff just wants to foam up and spill out of the bowl. It surprised me, but there was a decent amount of slickness. Used my giant Omega boar brush and Merkur 1904 42C with a Polsilver blade. Finished off with some Myrsol Blue, since I don't have any Aqua Velva.
