Today's shave is dedicated to
@Rubbish Triathlete who spurred me on to actually use my recent soap acquisitions
I reverted to the Voskhod blade to give the soap a fair run, as I know the Parker/Voskhod combo works perfectly for me.
The soap's performance was superb. It can take a lot of water, and one loading of the brush gave ample lather for two passes plus tidy up. Smell? Well I love the pine/juniper scent, and I can live with the lanolin - just. The barnyard is definitely there, and in a lighter scented soap might protrude more. The Kayaput's a nice bracer, but won't win prizes for complexity or subtlety. I am, however, feeling raring to go and refreshed rather than pampered. Right off to spend Saturday pulling down fences and trimming conifers, which seems entirely appropriate
Have a great weekend, gents.
