Ach Brito Mogno- soap bar
ER 1924
Gem S/S [ 4 ]
Tuff Green A/S Lotion.

After using the Granado soap bar I went back to the Mogno. What a contrast, I was able to apply it directly to the face and work up a very effective lather by brush, also retaining enough lather on the brush for the rest of the Shave, I went from the AC/SE rotation to using Vintage, and found a lot more concentration required to avoid mishap. Quite a pleasing finish attained today.

Another boar brush to play with. Any problem with the lather was my fault this morning as I left too much water in the brush. I had a SOC boar some years back, I seem to remember liking it, but memories can be treacherous. I do know that Semogue have upped their game as far as packaging goes, and their wooden handles are great. Two passes and a smooth result.

A week of using DRH soaps. Why? Why not. Two passes for a good finish but not the smoothest of shaves. I've ditched the Pro Super and have the Pro loaded for the next shave.

Arlington - it smells like upmarket Arko. I quite like it.

I rather like the Arlington myself. Lovely subtle scent and not too bad at lathering
