An extremely nice shave today, once more using a slant. While some say they cannot tell any difference between a slant and a regular razor, I notice that a slant much more easily produces a BBS result, and today was no exception to that.
But first, the lather: Rooney Style 1, Size 1 brush made a very nice and fragrant lather from Shaver Heaven’s Sweet Almond Milk shaving soap.
I know nothing of the origin of the German slant (other than country), and the design is quite simple, but it does a very fine job indeed: a completely trouble-free shave and a BBS result.
Saint Charles Shave, knowing of my interest in their rose-fragranced aftershaves, particularly those using Bulgarian rose, sent me the sample shown. She calls the fragrance Dark Rose, and comments that it’s “a blend of Bulgarian rose, woods, bergamot, vetiver, moss, myrrh, light florals, frangipani, cassis, and geranium. It opens sharply and dries down to the heart of rose.” I like the name Dark Rose, because although it is quite identifiably rose, it has more depth than the usual rose fragrance.
Altogether a fine shave.
