I ordered some samples of Wet Shaving Products shaving soaps, both Formula T (tallo) and Rustic (vegan), and Mahogany has to my nose a very pleasant fragrance. Since the samples come in 1-oz tins (some with threaded lids (I believe those are newer) and some with friction-fit lids), I decided to do a Tiny Town shave: small tin, small brush, small aftershave.
The Wee Scot, though small is stature, is a formidable brush, and it did a fine job. I used a regular-sized razor, the estimable Fatip Testina Gentile, which joins the ranks of mild-aggressive razors: mild in feel, aggressive in performance. The Testina Gentile would be an excellent razor for a novice because it is an excellent razor. Even you who are experienced DE shavers might at some point give it a try.
Three passes, totally smooth result with no nicks or problems, and a splash of Chiseled Face Trade Winds from the sample
A pouring, drenching downpour early this morning, but the sun has come out for a beautiful day. No carnage yet visible, but it’s early.
