Afternoon all,
Pre, flannel and hot water
Brush, Boti Blue
Razor, Alpha Outlaw Copper (Standard plate)
Blade, Personna (USA, 2nd use)
Soap, Folk Shaving Soap
Post, HAGS Aftermath
My first try with this soap. And it's a cracker. I left it in the bowl and left my brush after dampening it on top for a bit before twirling it around in the bowl. After a while i could see it was paying dividends so removed the soap and continued to work the brush around the bowl. It produced a very thick and luxurious lather. The scent is inoffensive, mild, a hint of lanolin. It provided an excellent surface to work on.
A zero issue 3 grain pass as usual. No nicks / weepers / cuts / irritation. But nice and clean and close. Very close in fact. I decided to match it with the HAGS Aftermath after considering a number of others purely because i felt like it. The beauty of the Folk Soap is it can be paired with anything i feel. I'm looking forward to using this again and for the price you can't go wrong. As mentioned in the Folk Soap thread i picked up the Shampoo bar as well and really like that as well.
Best,
Ben
