Same as yesterday's shave but with DVH shaving soap.
Is this still being made? It's a good shaving soap and was very cheap when I bought it about eight or nine years ago.

Trying to use up this Shaving Shop aftershave gel. Such a shame the scent has really weakened over time as that was the best thing about it (I don't find it particularly soothing and it leaves a slightly sticky residue on the skin)

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Razor: Pearl Flexi V5
Blade: Tiger Superior Stainless (Czech)
Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Amber Aerolite Stygian Synthetic
Lather: De Vergulde Hand Scheerzeep
Aftershave: Taylors of Old Bond Street Shaving Shop https://shavingbuddies.com/shave/64ac2cad7561cd6e4045f13e
DVH is still available on line and can be bought in any pharmacy in the Netherlands.

Razor: Yaqi Mellon Chrome
Blade: Astra SP, 1st use
Brush: Highlander “Azzuri” Custom Brush Boti 4th Gen Pink 3 Color Synthetic Knot
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Nanny’s Silly Soap Moroccan Sands Croap
Aftershave: Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man EDT
Balm: Baxter Of California Aftershave Balm

Another day, another excellent shave from the Nanny’s silly soap. It worked a treat to start the week off with this soap, and rarely used razor! The gaps in the Yaqi razor head helped with the lubrication this design is supposed to give when shaving. A great smooth shave!

Second use of the soap, I loaded lighter and gave it more water.
Again it lathered effortlessly. My thoughts are very much the same as the first use. It’s an excellent soap, it’s noticeable qualities are that it has superb cushioning and density.
It can take much more water than I gave it.

I’m enjoying using it very much, particularly the scent. It’s a scent that I can imagine ‘The Dude’ Lebowski wearing.

It really tied the shave together.
