I do thoroughly enjoy soaps made using Phoenix Artisan’s CK-6 formula, and Love Bombs is one of them. The lather this morning seemed exceptionally good. Perhaps using the (quite gentle) Fine Classic synthetic brush helped. This brush has a 22mm knot, a very good size IMO.
Three passes with the double-comb Ascension, also from PA and a light razor, made of aluminum — that’s all it took for a perfectly smooth result. A splash of the aftershave augmented with a squirt of Grooming Dept Hydrating Gel, and the day belatedly begins. (I woke very early, was up for a couple of hours, then returned to bed to finish the night’s sleep.)
