Just curious how would you rank your preference among your MdC soaps Fougere, Agrumes & Rose. I think you had original too?

Fougere & Agrumes are tied for first in my personal ranking. Both are superbly scented, wonderfully performing soaps. Rose is too new to me to be considered equal to either of those two. Ask me a year from now & my ranking might change, but not for now. I've also had a tub of Original, but that scent is my least favorite. I haven't had the Vetyver.

SOTD: 11/10/2024

Razor: Blackland Blackbird Ti
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium, 2nd use
Brush: Grizzly Bay Atlantic Barbear
Bowl: Cayuen Dark Nebula Bowl
Soap: Proraso Green
Balm: Stirling Unscented
Additional Care: Thayers Witch Hazel (Unscented)

Another evening shave as I have a very early wakeup and want to let the LOTH get some sleep. It’s been a while since I used the TiBird and it strikes me as funny at how quickly I forget how remarkable it is. From the very first WTG stroke I was reminded that no other razor in my collection shaves as deeply or feels as satisfying. With no nicks, weepers, or drama, and very low irritation, it delivered a beautiful BBS+.

Wishing you a great week.

Pre: Noxzema Classic Shave & Stirling Unscented Pre-Shave Bar
Razor: Merkur Progress @ 4
Blade: Gillette Platinum (1)
Soap: RR Mudder Focker
Brush: AP Shave 24mm G5C
Bowl: Timeless
Post-Shave: RR Mudder Focker Splash & Zingari Man Sego Unscented Balm

Nice Progress shave, 9/10. It's been so long since I regularly used the Progress that I can't quite get it right when I do decide to go there. I still love the razor, but I definitely had some irritation despite the squeaky-clean neck shave. I might need to dial it back a bit.

I got seven uses out of a DE blade today for the first time in ages, or maybe ever. This spare tuck of Wilkinson Sword blades was in a box of odds and ends and I have really enjoyed this blade all week. Shaves 2-6 were especially good with zero aftershave feedback and great comfort overall. Today’s shave revealed the blade is done for me but it was a great ride. 9.5/10.

The refill pick of Haverford is getting low… And Cryogen is my daily driver almost year round at this point. Just love it.

1) Italy: Brush Zenith 506 Boar.
2) Italy: Shaving Soap Proraso Green Tub.
3) USA: Razor Gillette NDC Gold Ball End Tech.
4) Israel: Razor Blade Crystal Super Platinum shave one.
5) France: Alum Block Osma.
6) Germany: Aftershave Balm Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm.
7) Spain: EDT Nautica Classic.

I had a great start to the week. The Israeli Crystal Super Platinum blade paired with my beloved USA made Gillette NDC Gold Ball End Tech gave me a really good shave this morning. I had very little sting when I applied my Alum Block. I would rate this morning’s shave as a 9.5/10.

A question I often receive from newbies is: "Marco, I am on a budget. Can I still get a quality wet shave?" The answer is: "Yes, you absolutely can Sir". Wet shaving with a few bucks not only is easily doable, but does also bring you back to the origin of our hobby. Wet shaving on a budget means wet shaving as our fathers and grandfathers did. It's the Old School. :euro:
