Sapone di Paolo Agrume

First use of Sapone di Paolo and was very pleased with the performance as well as the scent! Ordered last Thursday and received yesterday- fantastic service. Hand written note by Paolo for a nice personal touch. The soap itself is absolutely snow white.

Tabacstag!
I went with the Futur on six again - BBS again, but with a couple small weepers on my neck where I did some touch up. Lesson learned - touch up on a lower setting.
The Futur was loud and very smooth again today - I usually could not shave with the Fatboy on 9 two days in a row. To me this means the Futur is both more efficient and comfortable than the Fatboy. I am almost ready to sell or trade all of my razors to get my own Futur!
I also tested out a new pre/post shave oil from Wet Shaving Products - this one with a scent called Matterhorn. It is a very pleasant scent, I think I detect jasmine, but I’m not great at describing these things. The oil is Jojoba, grapeseed, apricot, avocado and some others that provide a nice viscosity for application. I think it helped as a preshave, but since Tabac makes optimal lather, it is hard to tell for sure. I also used it as a post, and it went on smooth and comforting. After it absorbed, I put on a splash and got more of a sting than yesterday, but it was very short lived, and my skin is left very soft and smooth. Overall, a superb shave.
My photo is of the Futur on the only stand I have that is big enough for it - a stand made by and given to me by the same friend who loaned me the razor - JR Reyes. Thanks again, sir! In the background you may notice Atticus, our English Bulldog puppy playing in the yard.
