Vintage blade porn.
Sotd - today - Saturday the 16th of March.
Razor - Merkur 37 slant
blade - Gillette Silver Blue (3)
brush - Semogue 1305
soap - Vitos Eucalyptus - tallow & lanolin
post - witch hazel
a/s - Epsilon Blue
balm - none needed
scent - ADP Mirto de Panarea.
Result - superb.
A dark morning in Glasgow - brightened up by the shave - happily - the mail came before I went upstairs - new things to try! Excellent. First use of a Vitos soap - I have long wondered about them - they have their fans here - and with reason - I now know. Ordinarily - off-putting for me - they come in unhelpfully large quantities - mostly in 500 and 1000 ml/gram versions - more soap than you are going to need ever - step forward Connaught Shaving - they repackage the croaps into handy - stackable - plastic tubs - 100 ml a go. Perfect - cheap as chips. So did the Vitos work for me? Absolutely - boar brush - it is the law - isn't it - with this type of soap? - ridiculously easy to lather - thick and creamy and shiny with no effort. I'm using soft water and face lather. The eucalyptus scent is there - but isn't at all prominent. Fair enough - you don't want to be kicking uninvited koalas out the den - do you? No balm needed - using the Vitos - that's high praise in my book. First use of Epsilon Blue aftershave - I like this a lot. So - another Vitos to try soon - Supercrema - and two incoming PAA soaps - my first - from them. Great shaving and saving money at the same time - what's not to like? - ha ha ha. Sealed the deal with the ADP Mirto de Panarea - a splash of warm Mediterranean light in scent form. All good - enjoy your shaves one and all - yours - I.
