Royal Fougère (Asylum) English Fern
Shave 33
This old puck still smells good, a deep rich fougère of the old school, but I was surprised by how thin and fluffy today’s lather turned out. I think the brush, a Semogue boar, was the reason. Lately I’ve had trouble getting a truly thick and glossy lather with a boar. The ease that comes with using a floppy synthetic seems to have ruined my lather-making skills with anything else.
____________
Brush Semogue 1250 Oak 22mm boar (26) ・ Razor Karve Brass Overlander, 3" Guilloche handle (46) ・ Blade Wizamet (3) ・ Hoard 209 soaps ・ 510 consecutive shaves
