  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: Derby Premium half DE
  • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - The Full Measure of Man
  • Post Shave: Moon Soaps Old School balm; moisturiser

2 pass head shave. A totally comfortable one I might add.

FMoM is, by far, a soap very deserving of its own hype. The scent is just chef's kiss throughout... perhaps not best suited to summer, but do I care? Nope. Plus in the Omnibus base it lathers like something otherworldly and leaves great slickness for head shaving.

Using the Thorn again was also a pleasure. I'm now firmly believing that SE razors are prime head shavers - every single one I've used works either really well or even amazing like this one. I could probably sell all my DEs and just invest in more modern and vintage SEs and be happy. Sad but true...

I still struggle a bit with my new Lemmy app so please don't be scared about some hiccups; I try to remedy mistakes as soon as I notice them.
