The title sounds like a fairy tale from Central Europe, doesn’t it? But it was a terrific shave.
The Rooney Style 3, Size 1 made an excellent lather because I remembered to add a couple of driblets of water to the brush and work that in as I loaded the brush. i Coloniali seems to be a very thirsty soap, and the small amount of additional water greatly improves life and performance of the lather.
My Wolfman WR1-SB did its usual fine job. It is of the very comfortable and very efficient variety, and the handle is extremely nice. Three passes with no problems, and then a small splash of Annick Goutal Eau de Sud:
Top notes are mandarin orange, basil, grapefruit and bergamot;
middle notes are mint, lime, lemon verbena and jasmine;
base notes are vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss.
