Notes: Its a warm one today, so I decided to shave beside my pool.
As always I had plenty of volunteers to hold my large fat girthy handle.
Gotta love that Highlander brush.

Wholly Kaw - Bare Siero
Yaqi Timberwolf 26mm
Yaqi Scalloped Gunmetal
Personna Lab Blue #5
Witch Hazel / The BodyShop MacaRoot Aftershave Gel
While Siero isn't a bad soap and offers great post shave feel, it's not a soap I would stock like crazy. Feels water sensitive and almost collapses if the water/soap ratio isn't good enough.
However it's an excellent choice for introduction in wet shaving for someone that doesn’t exactly know what to do with a shaving soap. The soap hardens with time and needs heavy blooming to load properly though.
The razor isn't mild and if you press down you will pay with some blood/irritation. Lab Blue is a fantastic blade with great duration and cutting ability. Wow.
30€ for a soap that doesn't offer something extraordinary to the shave (scentwise or performance wise) is a lot of money I believe. With great respect to master Sri , who recently sent me 2 soaps for free to try.
I don't want to be rude but must say my honest opinion.
I'm so sorry.
I know that in the recent shave with Date Night I found it much better but it was a fresher soap.
