An excellent shave, smooth and very close. The Derby blade is not the sharpest, but its smoothness allow me to go further and achieve a very close shave, closer than what I get from sharpest blades. What a paradox!

The Klar Kabinett soap is not very hydrating (in fact, it is its worse characteristic), so I needed a very hydrating balm. Emulsión Myrsol, a true Spanish classic, is a real giant in that aspect!
 
royal wedding shave with la toja

Hello friends, today I wanted to use La Toja:

Semogue 2020
Merkur Progress + Wilkinson Economie
La Toja Sensitive Skin Shaving Cream
Alum stone
La Toja Lotion
La Toja Balsam

The Wilki blade was in its fifth use and very well and that can be said of La Toja... :shave
