A gorgeous kinda sweetish cigarish scent from the soap. The lather was good too...creamy and slick!
This shave with the razor and blade combo was very comfy. Smooth and efficient in 3passes for a bbs finish without any issues.
The matching aftershave balm was awesome!

Brush: PAA Phantom
Soap: A&E Barbiere Sofisticato
Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: Blue Star (4)
Post: Cold Water and A&E Barbiere Sofisticato

Another good shave this morning, coming to the end of the sofisticato, I'll miss it but don't think I'll replace it, the soap is a little too soft for my tastes nowadays.

Blue star still going strong, no sign of the dreaded rust. Then again I've been washing, drying and leaving in a dry environment. So I'm giving it the best chance without going to extremes.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

SOTD: 04/10/2021

Razor: Hone 15
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless, first use
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: PAA Future Fiction
Aftershave: Channel Allure EDT
Balm: Baxter Of California Aftershave Balm

I decided I needed a gentler shave so I decided to go with my Hone, and despite thinking I should take it easy, decided on a feather blade, (as recommended by @Paul L I think). I can see why the feather works the combo of gentle but smooth razor with super sharp blade was near perfect, even on a day with minimal growth such as this there were no issues at all and my face felt like it had been barely touched! My new favourite combo for this razor!
Have a great day everyone!
