Wonderful shave

SOTD 20 May 2013

A perfectly wonderful shave this morning: from two-day stubble to BBS.

I used my Omega 40033 boar brush, letting it sit soaking wet while I showered. I see I turned the tub so you can’t see which shaving cream I used: it’s Saigon, by AlsShaving.com:

The lovely top notes that introduce Saigon are impossible to ignore, a juicy citrus carried on some soft tropical grass. Next to emerge are a spice and bitter notes reminiscent of green galbanum, which seem at first to align. A dark, earthy accord and a very potent note assert themselves to turn Saigon abruptly from herbal oriental to a deep woody-green scent.

The lather is abundant, slick, thick, and protective, and three easy passes of my Merkur vintage slant holding an Astra Superior Platinum blade resulted in a BBS result.

A nice splash of Saint Charles Shave’s Bulgarian Rose with Lemon aftershave, and here I am.

How To Grow A Moustache has posted an interview with me.
