The ole Gillette was called up to duty with Palmolive being the soap of choice. The semogue boar to help lather this bad boy. Finished up with some witch hazel and oleo soapworks goodness.
All in all, a good shave.

Ayars (Bonnyman) Waterfall Lathering Bowl

Sebum Gold shaving soap

Sebum Gold serum
Trumper Portugal EdT (vintage)

This was my first use of the Sebum products. The soap required a lot of water and time to make adequate lather in the bowl. (This may differ with scuttle use.) The lather had excellent cushion and fairly good glide, and it left my skin feeling moisturized and quite smooth and soft. The serum felt greasy on my hands but seemed to be absorbed into my facial skin pretty well, and it further softened the skin. Since I rarely get any skin irritation, which is handled well by splash aftershaves, I'm not at all sure the serum is a necessity. I don't really like their musky fragrance very much, but that may change with time. Overall I was generally pleased with the results of the shave but not tremendously impressed, and I'm left thinking that for me the software is quite overpriced. But this was just a single use, and no doubt my views will be moderated with further experience over time. I'll comment more then.
