SOTD 4-10 December 2022

Shave of the Week Starting 5 December 2022

Pearl Blaze razor
Gillette Wilkinson blade
AP Shaving brush
Blue's Shave Soap
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

New soap this week and it's a nice one. Can't tell you the ingredients cuz all it says on the packaging is Goat's Milk and Animal Fats. The soap didn't melt my face off or anything like that, just gave a nice lather that worked very well. And since my smeller is still messed up (a year after a covid event), the scent is, what there is of it, is pleasing. Anyway, my face is happy so go enjoy your day/week folks

Great picture, Alan.
I was always shy about using a nice, white-tipped badger with this soap. Have you noticed any darkening of your tips?

Primo,

Thank you for the kind words.  I've never noticed any darkening of the brush tips whenever I use this soap.  I bought Lavanille, Night Music, and Rhapsody, all darker soaps, from Alex (ANG69) in the summer of 2016, and haven't noticed any issues with those other two either. I do thoroughly wash my brushes immediately after each use...
