The Intercontinental All Italian Shave-Off
W1D4


We started with my friend SteveWY an interesting project:
The Intercontinental All Italian Shave-Off


Two of us Badger & Blade members from the USA and Italy are partnering in an Intercontinental All Italian Shave-Off! We hope all B&B members with interest and experience with Italian shaving products or really the Italian experience will follow the thread and perhaps even join in and share your thoughts and experiences with us! Let me introduce ourselves and how we came to this point...

Week 1 Day 4
Yesterday I was not having any sign of beard since late afternoon, so close was the shave. This morning luckily there was even enough so to hearing comfortable shave.


Blades are going to have the best comfort so far: probably they are going to be not close as the first day but they are way more comfortable.
Tried to carefully change the shaving angle with Fatip but no way: I think that the blade exposure can give wide choice of attack. On paper. In reality a little bit less.
No weeps or cuts since I have an invisible me hand. Just some little burn under the nose in the attempt to reach those places.
Omega brush and Cella seems they were born to be loved each other. As always a great pleasure and a full rich experience. No other words.

Brush: Omega 21762 Italian Flag
Razor: Fatip Grande Gold
Blades: Bolzano SuperInox (4)
Soap: Cella Extra Extra
AS: Floid the Genuine


Music: Paolo Fresu


EDT: L'Erbolario Periplo











Have a wonderful shave and a fresh day to all gents!
