You need to slow down grasshopper, you’ve been digging your rabbit hole deeper, too fast too soon.

Nice brush, what is it?

I believe that's a Grizzly Bay.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Saponificio Varesino Two-band High Mountain Manchurian White Badger
Soap: Abbate Y La Mantia Garibaldi
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna P74 (14)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Phoenix & Beau Iceni Aftershave Lotion
Scent: Boellis Panama 1924 EdT

First shave with an Abbate Y La Mantia soap. It is a croap of medium consistency. Two initial observations - it loads better direct from the tin rather than scooped, and the lather is very dense and relatively low profile, similar to the Barrister and Mann Reserve soap base. Once I had this sorted, I was most impressed with this soap. Very slick, good cushion, good glide, and good residual slickness, particularly for a vegetable oil-based soap. Post shave was excellent - very luxurious.
The scent is really nice - off the puck, I get fresh citrus and tobacco, with hint of the saltwater marine theme also evident. Once lathered, the tobacco note becomes more intense and slightly medicinal, which works brilliantly to balance the slightly sweet citrus notes. Masterful blending - the Italians are so good at this.
Also the first use of Phoenix & Beau Iceni aftershave lotion. I am a fan of Phoenix & Beau aftershave balms, but only recently have I got my hands on their aftershave lotions. It is a very nice product; refreshing and moisturising, and Iceni is a delightful scent. It reminds me of Pitralon Classic, but is more complex. What fragrance to complement the scents of the soap and aftershave? The choice to me was clear - Boellis Panama 1924.

What a great shave!

The general consensus I've read is that the ATT Windsor range performs great and any concerns about the change of manufacturing to China is unwarranted as good quality control.

Well worth a look at if you seek a mid-aggressive shaver for an affordable price.

Sigh... No shave today. I got an early call from an elderly neighbour who had a tree down across her driveway, so I had to get out there with drag-chains and saws so she could get out to vote. Luckily she shares my political opinions, so there was no conflict there...

You realise that democracy was the real winner there
