Friday, January 5, 2024: Frankensoap Friday

  • Preshave: Water 2 Face
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse ๐ŸŽ
  • Razor: Thiers-Issard 188 7/8 'Coq et Renard'
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (11)
  • Lather: Haslinger Schafmilch ๐Ÿ‘ & Haslinger Calendula Combo
  • Postshave: Floid The Genuine
  • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

I have one Haslinger soap with a nice scent, but that leaves my face extremely dry, and another, that is very soft to the face, while smelling like a wet sheep. Is there something to be done there? Maybe not. The result still leaves my face slightly irritated - so Calendula is demoted to hand soap service.

And the TI might need a refreshing on the stones.

Have a nice evening!
