SOTD 28th June 2020
Razor - Karve #C Plate
Blade - Souplex
Soap - Signature Soaps - Goats milk. ( Capra )
Brush - Semogue TSN 2018 LE Badger
Post - Signature Soaps - Hybernia aftershave splash ( On test )
Frag - Lemon Line -Mancera edp
Another shave using the lovely Signature Soaps shaving soap, this time it was the unscented goats milk soap.
Just as with the lavender soap this burst into a thick creamy lather with ease and was slick and protective and left my skin feeling soft and supple.
I seem to be picking out my Karve razor for use more and more, I don't have a strict rotation of razors, just what takes my fancy on any given day.
Again I used the " C" plate as this feels like my " baby bear" plate ( just perfect ) especaly when used with a Souplex blade.
I was left perfectly shaven and left with baby smooth skin, as the goats milk soap is unscented I used the Hybernia aftershave splash that I an testing for Brian and again there was a little sting but not unpleasant and then it felt quite soothing, the scent to my nose was of lemon and lime and a touch of lavender, very nice indeed.
My frag for today was Lemon Line from Mancera, it's just straight up lemon and very refreshing and the scent is long lasting.
Untill the next time, stay safe and be happy!
Paul.

A very close BBS finish today from 3 full passes, giving some indication from the Witch Hazel and aftershave.
I noticed i lost a couple of bristles from the brush, i may not have soaked it long enough as i think they snapped rather than fell out, she is getting on in years for an original knotted brush so needs a bit more tenderness when using.
Saying that, what a lovely shave, smiling from ear to ear.
Stay safe and Enjoy your day All.
