My first US made soap. It couldn't have been a better experience. I just had a couple of shaves with it but this stuff is outstanding. Not the easiest to lather, I'm afraid. I had read and watched videos on how to lather it and had no problem bowl lathering it, but what I do is face lathering and both yesterday and today, I got it right at the second attempt. But once you get the lather right... the reward is worth it.  I think this Mystic might be the best soap I've tried to date, and there are a few hard contenders in my cabinet. It won't be the only one.

The Eufros balm was a request from a few of us at "foroafeitado". We requested from Manuel one of his after shaves balms but with no scent, so it wouldn't interfere with any other fragance one might be wearing after the shave. His soaps and balms have very pleasant scents, but they are rather potent. The balm works wonderfully. No oily trace whatsoever, lighting fast absorption, calming and soothing. Just perfect.

A quick, easy, wonderful, and great smelling shave!

SOAP  |  Truefitt & Hill Authentic Nº 10
BRUSH  |  Stirling Soap Company Kong
RAZOR  |  Mühle R41 (2013) / Griest Shaving GS2 3.0
BLADE  |  Bolzano Superinox (1)
AFTERSHAVE  |  Chatillon Lux Colbeck

Truefitt & Hill’s Authentic Nº 10 is quickly becoming a favorite. Great lathers, and the scent is fresh, bright, yet masculine.
I hadn’t used my Mühle R41 for a while, and had forgotten how effective it is. No other razor I have shaves quite like it. It rather literally expels all stubble from my face.
Another product that I’m a fan of is hawns’ Chatillon Lux Colbeck. The relative thickness of this nourishing aftershave, combined with the cooling menthol and a pleasing scent, are a real treat for the face & the senses. Great shave!

Thank you! I appreciate it. Also, beautiful picture!
