Re: SOTD: August 2026
It now shaves pretty fair, but not perfect. Dominica Bay Rum with Lime.

Re: SOTD: August 2026
Yesterday I finally dug out my box with shaving soaps in it. About 125 different sorts, so the first one I picked out is what I regard as the best performing soap, ever! P.160 Tipo Morbido. Thick creamy lather just like you were using a 3Ts cream. Used with the TI damascus, an E3 Super, and Mr Taylor's Cologne.
I have a couple of kg of this stuff, and the same of the Tipo Duro.

Don’t have a picture today.
Wolfman WR1 OC, 0.7 mm, Wilkinson Light Brigade with about a dozen shaves on it
Stirling coniferous soap
Oumo 23mm unsullied in a dark earth handle (amazingly good brush by modern standards)
Annick Goutal Eau d’Hadrien (vintage EDP)
Sebum Gold Max Sprecher balm

Another good performer, AOS Lavender, which pairs nicely with Milk of Flowers.
