June 4, 2024 - K.I.S.S.

  • Brush: Omega 10077 #HOLLOW
  • Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing - Merica
  • Blade: Gillette - Silver Blue
  • Lather: Proraso - Coarse Beards (Red) Cream
  • Post Shave: Fine Accoutrements - American Blend Splash

Sandalwood is the only scent described in Proraso Red. For a $10 tube of cream, I really like this scent and can see why it is a staple for many people. I personally like soaps better, but the price, performance, and scent of this is pretty good.

As for the challenge today, I don't think I've been wetshaving long enough for a soap base to be discontinued. I have tried samples of B&M's Reserve base and always liked it, so I would probably say Reserve. However, my current favorite base is definitely Summer Break Soaps base. I love the firmness of the soap itself and the shaving properties are excellent. The post shave slickness is incredible and it holds water super well and develops a nice thick layered consistency that offers great protection. Good job to u/rocketk455 and anybody who else helped make this base.
