-- Tuesday--
Prep: hot water wash with Stirling bath soap
Razor: Frankerazor made of Hallmark top plate, Fatip base plate and Ikon Bulldog handle
Blade: Perma-Sharp Super (3)
Brush: Semogue Owners' Club 2012 Special Edition (mixed hair)
Soap: Savon du Midi Orient - last shave with this particular tub
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery G5 in Hamada glaze
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant stick and Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe
Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Third shave with SOC SE. This brush is amazing! It loads so much product that I am quickly finishing my soaps that were lingering. Today marked the end of my tub of Savon du Midi Orient. Good French veggie soap. I'll use it again, but will not pay the outrageous prices it costs at the stores. This one was a BST catch and I really enjoyed it. Now onto some other soaps that need to be eaten up. With SOC SE I think I'll start going through soaps a bit faster (a good thing). Also, the sheer amount of product this brush picks up is always conducive to a great comfortable shave with just about any soap. More product really does work in most cases.

Have posted elsewhere on my first shot with the new Valobra Hard Shave Soap. Quick reprise:
top notch lather leading to a really sweet DFS++,needing just a bit more than 2 full passes.
Smooth, irritation free results! This soap is a winner, but at nearly $30 it should be!
