Wald Nimbus A1 29 mm Goldvein 2.0 || PantaRei Fresco di Sicilia sapone da barba || Paradigm Diamondback Copper || Personna Lab Blue || PantaRei Fresco di Sicilia Dopobarba

The desire for the summer scents is diminishing, which is why the PantaRei FdS was allowed to start again this morning. As usual, the Wald created a lather consistency in short time, reminiscent of Greek yogurt and ensured an optimal shave. The Diamondback was allowed to clean up and left two small droplets of blood as a sure sign that the Personna has came to an end

Another soap that punches well above its price point, i put a portion of the kilo brick in a refillable "deoderant" from Amazon, they work brilliantly.

I used the soap crayon style rubbing it on all the stubble, then a 10mm dip and shake and away i went, tip dipping and building the lather on the face, this synth knot has a feel of a broke in boar brush and held enough lather for 3 passes easily.
The post shave slip of the Vitos is remarkable which was evident after each pass rinse off.
I completed 3 passes as i had the lather and the L1 is such a comfortable razor it does not give any discomfort.
When cleaning the brush i inadvertently pulled the knot out, i only use heat gun so it is easy enough to clean out and refit it in minutes.
Enjoy your day all.

Thursday 1st October...

This morning's shave somewhat delayed. The AI has changed the soap for some reason. It was Muhle Sea Buckthorn.

Enjoy your evening...

It's an easy soap to work up. I like it. Even AI could do it. T&H tho... Even @ankerbart couldn't lather that one up

@ankerbart doesn't know how to build a good lather.
