A very nice shave today. I used the Omega boar brush shown, a very nice brush moving along in its break-in. Creed Green Irish Tweed shaving soap is remarkably good, as well it should be, and I had a fine lather immediately. The Fatip is a very nice little razor. I know little about the maker, but it’s made of brass and is coated—very nice heft—and belongs to the “aggressive” family. No problems at all during the shave, which left me BBS, but it does not strike one as noticeably comfortable. Still, an excellent razor.
In keeping with the balm theme, I used Hermès Eau d’Orange Verte, a very nice moisturizer that works well as an aftershave balm. A tiny dot of it has a wonderful fragrance and spreads easily across your shaved face.
