July 02, 2023 – June Shaves

  • Brush: Cayuen Abalone w/ 28mm Timberwolf Synthetic
  • Bowl: Timeless Shave Bowl, Blue
  • Razor: WSC – Winning Razor, mirror polished, w/ Timeless Titanium Crown razor handle
  • Blade: Gillette Winner Platinum (1)
  • Lather: Vitos Extra Super w/ Coco

Today's soap is another Italian mainstay of traditional barbering, and the scent is very faint but does have an almond / cherry base to it. This is a 1 Kg (2.2lb) block of lovely shave soap, which is why the box is so big. Vitos is very similar to Cella but with less water content to it and a lighter scent. I have chunks of it in the freezer in an airtight container, and I occasionally cut off some and shred it with a dedicated cheese grater to "spike" my soap mix whenever I feel the current soap base may not perform well, especially vegan soaps. By itself it does okay. Fun fact: I gifted some of this soap to @LatherHog when I met him at the sweltering hot Maggard Meetup. Hopefully he'll do a review for us soon.

BBS finish otherwise. Have a great week, gentlemen!

Congrats to /u/RedMosquitoMM for your win last year. We shall all raise a glass and raise a razor in your honor today, sir!
