What a fantabulous afternoon shave! I took the day off work to get the house work done before Christmas.
I used my dad's straight razor for the first two passes and finished with the Wolfman ATG. This soap is amazing.

Another extremely pleasant shave. This Ylang Ylang has a floral scent that, probably due to some earthy notes (guess the myrrh has something to do) is, in my opinion, more suited for the current weather than the warmer weather a floral is supposed to fit better into. Even when I admit that I'm clearly gravitating towards tallow based soaps, these Eufros Premium are the vegetal based soaps that I find more close to a good tallow based one, performance, protection, and slickness wise.

Two passes and touch ups, BBS result. I've reached a point in which I enjoy all of my razors, regardless of the number of blades they've got, but the classic double edge razors have that little plus that makes me enjoy my shaves that bit more. And that bit matters.
