I’m starting to see how I lost track of how exceptional is the lather from Phoenix Artisan’s CK-6 soaps: the lather from their regular soaps is extremely good, so my soap expectation is reset by still being impressed. My RazoRock Keyhole brush made a really fine lather from Phoenix Artisan’s Briar shaving soap (regular formula). Briar was a one-off, and I don’t find the fragrance particularly distinctive, but it makes a fine lather.
The Edwin Jagger head really is excellent, IMO a significant improvement on the Merkur 37C, though the 37C for reasons I don’t understand continues to be popular. But in side by side comparisons, the Edwin Jagger heard is markedly better, at least for me.
Three passes to a smooth face, and than a good splash of Sant Charles Shave’s Bulgarian Rose aftershave. The day lies before me, and I am ready.
