SOTD:
Preshave: Proraso Sensitive
Razor: Vintage 6/8 Fredrick Reynolds Old English Razor all original 1/4 hollow
Strop: Castle Shave 3’ English Bridal with Nylon Backing
Brush: Kent BLK4
Shave Cream: A&E Grecian
AfterShave: A&E Grecian
So I just received the shave cream and aftershave today, so excitement was building in me to try this soap the 1st chance I got. Scent on this is very strong but lovely! This from what I read is also a Fougère. Still not familiar with what makes a soap a Fougère, but I seem to have a thing for them. A&E should be called the lather Kings, this soap is extra thirsty and had to add water to each pass. Adding water doesn’t bother me especially when I get these results. Soap is very slick and performs amazing. It has a very strong cologne type of scent strong enough that the second you open the lid you get smacked in the face with it. Got a half decent shave not because of the soap but because of the razor. I got this razor shave ready but it is not to my standards so I think I’m going to go back and refresh this beast.
