Oliblade Razor - LaToja Stick - Semogue Mistura - Gillette 7 o'clock stainless - Epsilon Blue
7 August, 2024
Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Another outstanding shave this morning. Returned to Saponificio Varesino and their excellent "Opuntia" soap & ASL. Great scent with incredible lather built with the Paladin "PK-47" 2-band badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Super Speed, and I finished with the matching aftershave lotion and Creed "Aventus" EdP.
Hope you have a great day.

OLIBLADE AND ETHOS, A GREAT COMBO TODAY.
Today's shave was just wonderful. The Oliblade and the Ethos Bay Rum provided a one-two punch to the stubble. The shave started at 6.5 WTG then 4 XTG and 1.5 ATG. Very minimum buffing was needed as it always is in the same problem areas. I have seen some go in the opposite direction, I may try that with the next shave. I have had zero problems with the Oliblade, and from what I am reading, the same is true for the vast majority of users. This combo of the Oliblade razor and Ethos soap is a Winner.
The blade was the Wilkinson Sword from Brazil. I really wish I had bought these when I had the chance.
It is such a pleasure when the shave goes smoothly with no irritation, nicks or cuts.
