The Honeybee Soaps Lavender Vetiver shaving soap is excellent, with a good strong note of vetiver and the kind of lather than curls up on the razor like rolling up Spring snow: thick and cohesive. That Omega 20102 is getting to be well broken in and a great pleasure to use. Apparently some shavers still labor under the delusion that boar brushes are second rate, but using this brush would quickly disabuse them of that erroneous notion.
When I first used a Wilkinson “Sticky”, I thought it was too mild, but with a Feather blade it does a superb job: an efficient and quite comfortable route to a BBS result, almost always without nicks or burn. Three pleasurable passes, a final rinse, dry, and good splash of Saint Charles Shave’s Very V aftershave, and the weekend is upon me.
