While first-rate products are not necessary or sufficient for a fine shave, the two go together wonderfully well, like a horse and carriage.
This is the fougère version of Martin de Candre as you can tell from the blurry notation written with a ballpoint pen. That is my writing. Martin de Candre provides no indication other than fragrance.
With the Plisson synthetic I quickly achieved a wonderful lather. I’m finding that now that I use a dampish wet rather than dripping wet, I get good lathers more easily and with less mess.
The Wolfman WR1-SB with a Voskhod blade did a non-bloody marvelous job: not a single nick, total BBS result, and a pleasure throughout. I think the handle shown may be my favorite of his handles.
Continuing the fougère theme, I applied a splash of Barrister & Mann’s Fougère Classique to finish the shave.
A great way to start the weekend.
