For today's edition of running through the 14 section of my den, I chose the venerable Fili 14. It's really easy to understand why they are so popular.
Big, elegant, soft as a feather, and butter smooth, you can just wipe the stubble of your face. So nice.

I wonder if I reached for this soap knowing it lathers similarly to the soap I used yesterday. Load dry, add water sparingly, and it works great. Norway is interesting enough to keep around, and it's the only soap I have which prominently features Clove.

The Russian Bear is now very sharp, but maybe not the most comfortable – but that might also be due to the general bad shape of my face. And I might have a slight reaction to the TFS aftershave (just like to their soap...). Anyways, I would have to test where this generally ok shave did go slightly wrong.
Have a good evening!
