Ok, I just finished a nighttime shave with Mandarin Bay soap, Eucalyptus and Spearmint preshave and Unscented post shave serum. My tools tonight were a Wolfman WR2 DC 1.25 razor with a Feather blade, a C&R aluminum shaving brush handle with a Declaration B5/2 band Manchurian knot and my Saponificio Varesino olive wood shaving bowl.
I can honestly say that this is the best combination of shaving gear that I have ever used in my life. Yes, you all know that I am a huge GD fanboy and up until now, my favorite base was Mallard. This new combination together in Mandarin Bay (the scent is wonderful and subtle) has toppled the Mallard base as the best shaving soap I have ever used. I have been using GD preshave V32 for several months now but the final product is on a completely different level and to think that I did not think it could get any better. This is the first time I have used after shave in a very long time because I just have not needed it using the GD preshave V32. I used to use Dapper Dragon Scale Polish after shave gel which is wonderful. I thought my face could not feel any better when using GD soaps and the preshave but I was definitely wrong. My face feels the softest it has ever felt.
Mandarin Bay produces the best, richest, creamiest lather I have ever tried and that is really saying a lot! I had an extremely comfortable 2.5 pass BBS and I just can’t stop feeling my face. It’s crazy how soft it feels and how close the shave was that I just had.
I hesitated on purchasing the post shave serum because I knew how much of the preshave that I wanted to get because I had been using it. I was fortunate enough to have a bottle of the unscented post shave serum gifted to me by a mysterious wizard (
)! I will definitely stock up on the post shave serum now because I can’t see myself living without it now that I have tried it. I know, you all are getting sick of me going on and on but DAMN!!! It just can’t get any better than this......until Mo ups the ante again!! Just WOW!!
My pics look better during the day but I had to get this out.
