Lather Games 2023 Day19

  • Prep: Warm water
  • Brush: Sock
  • Razor: MMOC #RAINBOW
  • Blade: GEM PTFE
  • Lather: Taylor of Old Bond Street - Tobacco Leaf
  • Post Shave: Taylor of Old Bond Street - Tobacco Leaf

My first WOW!!! in wet shaving gets "Taylor of Old Bond Street"! And "Tobacco Leaf" is my firs set soap and aftershave. Compared to other creams I used to seen in general stores was totally new world! I couldn't stop sniffing and I was sure there are no better soaps! Still I love this set because of the scent. Tobacco ( most of tobacco fan says that is not typical tobacco scent and maybe this is the reason to like it ) citrus, leather and coffee. Making lather is really quick but fragrances loosing a lot of his strength and I hate this. Its always a deal break to me. Aftershave in other hand is strong and long lasting. I can say its more like a cologne not aftershave. All set is a little overpriced. For this money I can buy my beloved Gentleman's Nod soap and after. Gem micromatic is like steampunk safety razor. The open comb. Color and how lid is opening. Handle. This my third shave wit GEM razor and I am amazed from old safety razors. Aggressive and efficient and intuitive to shave. The thicker blade give feeling more close to straight razor. Day 1 I tried SE Artist club blade and now GEM confirmed that. Today challenge..... Another twisted .... creamy video.
