Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Antica Barbieria Colla Almond Oil Pre-Shave Cream
Brush: DR Harris H3 Best Badger
Soap: Phoenix & Beau Night Witch
Razor: Gillette Slim (4)
Blade: NOS Gillette Bleue Extra (2)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Barrister's Reserve Spice A/S Splash
Scent: L'Artisan Parfumeur Fou d’Absinthe
First outing with one of P&B's newer soaps - Night Witch. I've just finished watching Season 2 of Britannia, so the choice of soap seemed most appropriate.
The scent is a deep, dark take of vintage Shulton Old Spice, with a base of typical P&B earthiness. Light-mid scent strength, and I found it terrific.
Also terrific was the lather - if I were to nominate which of my soaps was the easiest to lather, Phoenix & Beau would be very close to the top.
Three passes with the Slim on setting 4, allowing the very sharp vintage Gillette blade to do its work and render me BBS.
Barrister's Reserve Spice seemed a logical match, and indeed worked very nicely indeed. I reveled in postshave bliss for a hour or two before applying fragrance, and found that the dark yet sparkling fougère notes of Fou d'Absinthe proved another great match.
I love it when all the elements of a shave come together like this
