• Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
• Razor: Koraat 14.2 Straight Razor (6)
• Lather: Saponificio Varesino Opuntia
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
• Postshave: Saponifico Varesino Opuntia
• Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

A great Sunday evening shave with Opuntia and Koraat. I believe that the SV soaps are the ones I used least soap per shave (though I didn't really measure this) – the difference with the tallow base of Chiseled Face is stark, in any case.

Have a godo night!

Old Spice Sunday: this soap was featured in The Great Spice Off #30 and Adventus Calendar day 22.

I'm obviously a fan of DentonMajik's base. This scent is a quality homage to the original.

Have a good day.

• Razor: Leaf Thorn

• Lather: Noble Otter - Neon Sun
• Post Shave: Bali Gents - Skin Revival Spray
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master

1 pass on both head and face. Couple of weepers on the dome, no idea why. Otherwise good.

Forgot to log a few shaves, including this one I did before my night shift. For some reason I got a few weepers on my scalp, don't know what happened there. The goatee is still going strong and I got the edges really neat, but atm my face only tolerates one pass.
