An extremely good shave today. First, a new soap. As pointed out in a comment earlier, the tub contains half a pound of soap, so the price reflects the larger quantity. Most shaving soaps are sold in 4-oz tubs, though a few (How To Grow a Moustache’s Syngergy shaving soaps, for example) also come in half-pound tubs.
The lather was instant and thick: very nice indeed. I use one of my Morris & Forndran brushes, and immediately had enough lather for many passes.
I read a speculation that the Gillette Toggle was a bit more aggressive than the Fat Boy. I set both razors on “5″ and alternated them in the shave. I could not detect any difference in aggressiveness, and they both did a very fine job indeed: BBS today.
A good splash of Saint Charles Shave’s Savory Rose, and I greet the summer with open arms.
