Thursday
Brush: Semogue Owners Club
Razor/blade: Merkur 38C / Gillette Platinum UK (3)
Soap: Valobra stick
After shave: Muehle aloe vera lotion
Cologne: Alt-Innsbruck
- The SOC still in the early break-in period. Face lathering today with the Valobra went ok. Second face lather with a stick for me ever, so still learning.
- The 38C still feels a tad heavy and the handle texture could be less slippery. A nice shaver, though.
- Sticking to the same blade brand at the moment, till I play a bit with other parameters (mainly soaps and brushes).
- The Valobra smells nice when you open its little carton box, during shaving the smell is not that intense though. At the moment I do not see why a stick can give you a nicer, smelly and rich lather that a good cream can. May be that first shave with the CF Lavender the other day spoiled me so much, or may be I am not generating enough lather with the sticks.
- A first as well with the Muehle Aloe Vera lotion, essentially an after shave balm. As Europe is more or less melting now, I used a small portion today, just to see if it would alleviate the small neck irritation caused. It feels ok, nothing extraordinary, not very oily at all, kind of approaches Speick in feel. Absorbs easily. Feels more refined and natural than the Nivea ASB. But for Eur 20, well... It's a high price to pay. If you notice the details in almost all Muehle products though, e.g. in this balm, the dispenser bottle is some king of glass or ceramic (not plastic) and even the packing (carton box) is very well made, they are constructed on a high quality basis.
- Alt-Innsbruck: a first with this one as well. What a refreshing smell and feeling in the skin! Very nice, positively surprised.
