A honey of a shave

A silvertip badger shaving brush with a wasp-waist faux ivory handle stands next to a tub of Mystic Water Sardinian Honey shaving soap that has a white label and thre lwavy blue lines representing waves. Next is a rectangular transparent glass bottle of aftershave whose label shows a purple space helmt on a yellow background. Through the helmet's visor we see it half-filled with a brown liquid in which a bee is swmming. The helmet is labeled Planet Java Hive.

Mystic Water Sardinian Honey is a good shaving soap, though the honey fragrance is light. The lather was excellent, and the knot of my G.B. Kent BK4 Wet Shaving Products Monarch (see comment), a very gentle knot, felt almost firm from its load of lather. [It felt firm because the Monarch has a much firmer knot than the Kent BK4.]

Fine’s Marvel razor head, here on a bronze UFO handle, is a good head, and it easily produced a BBS result in four passes. A splash of Phoenix Artisan’s Planet Java Hive aftershave/cologne, augmented with a couple of squirts of Grooming Dept’s Aion Hydrating Gel, finished the job and launched the weekend.

The caffeine this morning is coffee — Planet Java Hive was on my mind. I used 30g of Fantastico’s Mexico Manial Nayartia and a pint of water. I use my spice & herb grinder and grind the beans finely. Very tasty for an overcast day.
