New to you... what can I say - I could be using plenty of soaps for this theme. Whether it's samples prepared for LatherGames or some of the soaps I own (I'm pretty sure I haven't used some of the brands from them yet!) Picked something nice, simple and clean - Ach Brito Mogno. Bought this soap a while ago and haven't used yet - so it seemed like a right day to give it a go.
Face lathering with it was a breeze. Rubbed it on a face and then hit it with the brush - it literally exploded with loads of lather. Considering the price, I am certainly impressed with it. Now onto the fun part - I was so impressed with it that I blocked up my nose with the amount of lather.... But I'm still here, alive, so all good! Definitely not intending on shaving the nose hair lol!
Scent wise, the soap is nice and pleasant. Definitely inoffensive scent - just soapy and partially hitting the washing powder vibe in a way. Definitely nothing to dislike there in my opinion.
3 Passes left me at DFS+ level without any weepers this time. Blade that I have used is a good one - did have few runs with them before and thoroughly enjoy those - one of my top blades I'd say. Throughout the run I will probably try some blades that I haven't tried yet, so that should add some more fun to the lathergames. One more use of this blade tomorrow (I keep to 3 and out rule, unless blade is really bad then it's out straight away).
Couldn't not use brut as AfterShave here - the citrusy notes definitely pop here, contrasting nicely with the soap which I feel gives a scent baseline.
After 10 minutes or so - Added Cella Eau de Lavande to the pulse points. Since Citrus from Brut faded, this brought a refreshing note for a hot day here (26 degrees). Nice inexpensive, clean lavender scent. Even though my girlfriend tends to say I smell like a grandpa (27 y/o here)... But I love it!
@Boycie83 See, No tin for Mogno here.... yet! You can say that I am guilty of looking at few hah
