  • Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm × 57 mm boar)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Haslinger Ringelblume
  • Aftershave: House of Mammoth Santa~~l~~ Noir
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Spiced
  • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

Recent SOTDs by @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social made me remember my stash of Haslinger soaps. There's nothing really wrong with the soap itself, and they make a serviceable lather, but the tiny tubs mean that the soap is difficult to load with a regular sized brush. I've copied the solution to this problem from @Semaj3000@wetshaving.social , and use them like a shave stick, just rubbing the puck over my face.

How do you find this one? From the 3 I have, I find Ringelblume extremely drying - which is a shame, because I like the scent.

I don't know about drying. I may have insensitive skin though.
