This was the 2nd time I used this soap and AS combination. Not like anything else I have, but boy, I like it. My wife says she smells like a chocolate thing, I smell herbs (clove mostly) and some sweetness (and alcohol) underneath. Anyhow, love this stuff! And what is adding to that joy, is the fact that I won it in a lottery during a shaving meeting with some fellow loonies ;-)

Karve - Christopher Bradley SB-C
Rapira - Platinum Lux (5)
Omega - 10108
Westman Shaving - Bastardo soap and AS

I must try a Westman soap / ASL at some point.

Folk Soap Bay Rum trial
23/03/25
Pre - Shower
Brush - Simpson Chubby 2 Best Badger
Soap - Folk Soap Bay Rum
Razor - Parker SoloEdge
Blade - 0.5 Gillette Astra SP Green
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Folk Soap Bay Rum A/S Balm
A/S - DR Harris Bay Rum

I did not need to over load the Big Chubby as i had only planned to do a single pass and touch ups for a quick tidy up before taking Mrs. TC out for lunch. Again using a relatively dry brush, just a dip and a shake the soap loaded up very easy and the lather built up nicely on the face. I do like the scent and the lather does have staying power without dissipating at all during the shave.
A nice post shave routine using the Folk Soap Balm and DRH splash.
Enjoy your day all.

For sure. I have the Nirvana and Bastardo. Both are superb, while at first you would think otherwise.

Sun 23rd March

Aleppo soap - Shave pre wash
Alpha Classic G4 28mm
La Toja stick - grated
Alpha Claymore Evolution V1
Feather Pro ( 5 )
La Toja A/S Lotion

As my growth seemed quite strong, I decided to soften it up by application of a Hot Towel before my usual pre wash with Aleppo.This Razor comes into its own when clearing the Chin / Upper Lip, but the overall finish was good too.
