Bulgari Man in Black today. 20 seconds to load the oscar11/TGN 2-Band Finest brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette Platinum-Plus blade still in the Gillette NEW Short Comb. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Bulgari Man in Black EdT.

I expected more from these Saponificio Varesino soaps ( I have two samples) in the slickness and cushion departments. They lather great, and smell heavenly, but performance is nowhere near I would expect it to be, in soaps this expensive. Therefore, they have to drop off my "to buy" list. Too bad.

The Super Speed just came in the mail this afternoon, and Im shaving in the afternoons during this Finnish heat wave, so perfect timing.
I'm really on a vintage kick, loving my Gillette NEW SC, and loved this shave as well, super smooth, efficient, but maybe not quite as close.

The APShaveCo SynBad has quicly risen to my top brush, finally a synth with some soul. Just get one, they are cheap.

This is my hot as blazes set up for now, I'm hoping to use the IPA soap up this summer, with occasional appearances of Kyoto and West Indies.

Nothing better than Myrsol when it's hot and you don't want any oily stuff weighing you down, Formula C and Aqua de Limon are my summer favorites.

Lastly the T+S toner is miracle stuff, great face food, less calories, no greasy aftertaste.
