Saturday, August 13, 2011

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Vie-Long Gonzalo Horse/Boar
Soap: Ogallala Bay Rum & Sweet Orange
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Provence Sante Verlaine Splash

I was in a citrus mood this morning, and decided to pull out the Ogallala soap. I was rewarded with a fine, fragrant shave--smooth and close. When shaving with a glycerine soap, I always pay special attention to my technique because the soap has excellent glide but, in my opinion, less cushion than the typical hard soap. Therefore, there is a greater chance for nicks if one is not careful. No nicks today--great way to start a Saturday!
