Peter Charkalis gave me this one-of-a-kind soap about a month ago because I'd expressed a desire to have an Aventus-type in his outstanding goat milk and lanolin base.  He doubted there would be much demand for another Aventus-type soap.  I suspect he's gotten a few more requests because he recently announced Spartacus will be made available to the masses as soon as he finishes whipping it up.  You may have a few similarly scented soaps in your den, but odds are you don't have one that performs like this.

Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Chatillon Lux 'Gratiot League Square' Post-Shave Salve

well, another outstanding, and totally enjoyable shave... this time, the GBE worked its magic with the Weber, and the super slick lather for today was provided by Eleven... yeah, this is a top quality soap, alright! Post shave duties were taken care of by Chatillon Lux.. yeah quality from start to finish!!

Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra
Brush: 'El Monstruo' (Romera Manchurian 30/50 Fan)
Soap: Wholly Kaw: Fern Concerto

a no nonsense shave... despite the rather underwhelming lather... the next time a Wholly Kaw soap comes around, I shall use a different brush, as I know I can do a lot better than that.... just one o' those days!

Boom... now we're talking... BIG lather, lashings of BIG, slick lather, and another smooth shave... I'm not gonna push this blade any longer, as it has proved itself to be worthy of a bulk buy, when I can get my hands on some more... post shave is the usual Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve, simply because I love it so much, and Nemer is my fragrance of the day, because I'm worth it.. ;-)
