I hadn’t used the Pro 48 for a while, and since today’s products are Italian, I thought that was a good excuse to bring it out. Antica Barbiera Colla is a very nice soap and provided an excellent lather and I’m still liking the Pro 48 a lot, now that I’ve found the groove.
The RiMei ias an excellent little razor despite the cheap construction — it cost $2 several years ago. It’s comfortable and efficient and three passes left a totally smooth face.
I turned the aftershave bottle to the side so the separation of the ingredients is visible. This is why I always shake the aftershave — any aftershave — well before applying it.
Antica Barbiera Colla aftershave is a very nice aftershave milk, though the ingredients have discolored (presumably through oxidation) over the years. At the right is a photo from three years ago. If you get this, I suggest you use it regularly, though in fact my aftershave, age-yellowed as it is, still smells and feels fine.
And now the weekend can begin.
