Big thanks to HighSpeed for featuring the Kai Captain Titan Mild Protouch MG guarded blade in several shaves this year – it's fantastic! Unlike other guarded blades I've tried, this one glides smoothly with no tugging. After just one shave in the Alpha Spirit razor, it was close without flaying, comfortable as an old shoe, and gentle enough for two happy passes.

As for today’s soap? Smells like my neighbor’s Saturday night when the Kona winds carry her fumes across the yard. Finished up with a couple blasts of Santa Maria Novella’s Patchouli just to complete the picture.

I'm glad the ProTouch MG's work for you Bouki.  For the longest time, I was completely satisfied with the Schick P-30s - and I could still contentedly go desert island with the P30s if need be.  But I eventually realized that I was getting a more relaxing shave with about the same efficiency from the MGs.

Shaving Soap: Saponificio Varesino 80th Anniversary Special Edition (Ottantesimo LXXX)

[Image: 7GHu2Zr.jpeg][Image: 6Bx3Ae9.jpeg]

EDIT: Putting some notes on the scent here:

It is described as woody fougère on SV homepage.

Top notes: a sparkling and luminous explosion of bergamot, orange, lemon and grapefruit that immediately conveys a feeling of energy and vitality.

Heart notes: An enveloping and refined soul with aromatic nuances of lavender that blend harmoniously with the depth of patchouli, the velvety touch of cashmere wood and the intense elegance of guaiac wood.

Base notes: The fragrance settles on a warm and sensual base where ambergris combines with the rich nuances of cedarwood, the resinous sweetness of myrrh and the enveloping caress of vanilla

This fragrance offers a perfect balance between freshness, depth and warmth

***i think copilot exaggerated a little with the adjectives when i gave it my impression and asked him to translate it

Thanks. This brush does double duty as an exercise dumbbell while face lathering too.
