Another citrus shave, with two newish things and two oldish things.

New are the Blackland Vector and the Martin de Candre Argumes soap.
Old are the Semogue 830 and Trumper’s Limes Cologne.

Fresh and fruity!

As I say, the Vector is still newish to me, and I'm finding the blade gap a little fierce for me against the grain. I think this is one where I need to work on the angle to ease it off a touch. But still I had a near BBS shave and very little irritation on the neck, which is always my trouble spot.

The soap is just astonishing. A couple of swipes with the Semogue, fully loaded the brush. I was going to order a full tin of the argumes, but I think the small jar will probably last years!

Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather AC Pro (2)
Soap: Martin de Candre Argumes
Brush: Semogue 830 Boar
Pre-shave: PAA Cube
Post-shave: Trumper’s Limes Cologne

Yes I think you’re right there once it’s shampooed it needs a good heavy load and takes a couple of lathers to be back at optimal performance, really glad it worked out better for you on the second pass and hope it’s back to what it should be in the next shave..they are great brushes so luxurious an absolute dream to shave with I really do love mine !

Yes, I am hopeful, and thanks for your support. I, also, think that this brush is the epitome of a luxury brush, the just the right size “Chubby”.

There's probably something wrong with my 50g Agrumes soap. It just doesn't load properly from its tiny jar. The lather is not there unless I place a few shavings from it into a lathering bowl and work from there. And even then the lather is still thin and runny.
 
After a long hot and hard day some serious menthol needed to cool things down.

Lovely shave this evening using the Esteem Barbershop I have been kindly gifted..the scent is very light but the lather it produces is very good not quite top tier but very good all the same, another run out with the gold dollar tomorrow then will likely use something else just for a little change. Feeling smooth and refreshed
