A very nice shave today. Wet Shaving products makes two soaps, a vegan soap (a Martin de Candre shavealike) and this shea butter and tallow soap, Formula T, whose ingredients are:

stearic acid, water, tallow, coconut oil, potassium hydroxide, glycerin, butyrospermum parkii (Shea butter), fragrance, & sodium hydroxide. Free of synthetic dyes & preservatives.

The soap makes a really superb lather—indeed, the two WSP soaps are really top-notch—and it was easy to load the Omega brush shown. (Since it’s boar, I wet the knot well before I showered and let the brush stand on its base, dripping wet, during my shower.) No clay in the ingredients, which makes the loading somewhat easier.

The Above the Tie R1, riding on the UFO handle shown, did a really fine job. For me, that particular baseplate is spot on. Three passes to a fine result, with no problems at all.

Consistent with the tobacco them, I end the shave with a splash of Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Cavendish aftershave, which has an excellent fragrance.

A great way to start the day.
