Kesabella Aleppo Soap - 70% Laurel

Shield Avenger Copper SE AC
Feather Pro Super
Highlander Matt Carbon Tuxedo
Castle Forbes 1443

TGS Witch Hazel & Cucumber
Proraso blue pre-shave as post shave
Yorkshire Soap Co’ Botanici Di Limone

Sample 4 of 14 from the PIF. Not much to say other than Castle Forbes surpassed my expectations. I’ve veered towards soaps and having tried a no’ of creams settled on Truefitt & Hill unscented as what I thought was the best. I think this is even better as (1) a little creates LOADS of later - I used a small almond shaped amount and in the bowl with synth brush I probably had enough for 3 three pass shaves! so will know for next time. (2) the lather created was so creamy - on par with soaps (3) it didn’t dissipate, was v slick and gave great post shave feel. The 1443 fougere scent also made me feel like a Scottish Laird. Technique must be improving - had 5th shave with AC blade and it feels like it has more in it. Proraso pre-shave not great as a post shave - it works ok but just doing to use it up.
