Que bueno, amigo. Now you're talking. Alvarez y Gomez is one of the best creams out there. Like the Vie Long brushes, also.Sotd - sabado 17/6. Buenos tardes amigos -
Razor - Parker Variant (2.5)
Blade - Lodz Polsilver (2)
Brush - Vie Long white horse
Soap - Agua de Colonia barberia cream
Post - Witch hazel
A/S - Floid Vigoroso LE
Balm - Agua de Colonia barberia moisturiser.
Result - me gusta. Todo bien. An excellent Spanish shave. It's warm today - I wanted a lighter, refreshing shave but didn't fancy the obvious menthol route. The Alvarez y Gomez is one of the best soaps I own. I couldn't recommend it too highly if you haven't tried it. The scent is beautifully complex. Opens citrusy - quite a lot of rose - finishes woody and musky. The consistency seems to vary between tubs but this has never affected the performance for me. It's good value for money for a cream of this quality - even more so if you buy it in Spain. Thinking about it - I should really pick up a Seygus razor. Just for the sake of authenticity you understand. Like I need another razor. Hasta luego. I.

Felt compelled to post my first shave of the day as its the closest so far I have come to a perfect shave. I have really enjoyed my DE shaving experience and as my technique has improved, with both lathering and shaving itself, I have had some lovely shaves. But this morning, I couldn't find fault and I'm BBS.
The soap is fantastic and I face lathered for 3 smooth and very comfortable passes plus pick ups on my normal troublesome area. Not a hint of irritation. Nice tingle from the menthol in the aftershave.
I feel great! And a big thank you to all you guys for the help and advice along the way. Have a great Sunday!
