I Coloniali softening shaving cream with rhubarb is a favorite, but I believe it is now extinct. Still, I have this tube and since I use shaving cream rarely, it should last a long time. Mr Pomp brought forth a fine lather, which I greatly enjoyed.
Maggard’s V3A head is highly efficient and also very comfortable, and because “aggressive” is ambiguous, I wish they had named it something like V3E (for “efficient”). (“Aggressive” can be used to describe an uncomfortable razor (“too aggressive for me”) as well as an efficient razor.) It’s shown here mounted on a UFO handle, and it did a very nice job indeed.
A good splash of D.R. Harris Marlborough finished the job, and the day begins.
