Dedicating today's shave to my brother in law who passed away 24th early morning due to complexities of a heart surgery.
RIP Loknath - you'll be missed
Razor : Razorock Eco
Blade : Crown half DE
Soap : New Formula MWF
Brush : Bila boar bristle wood handle
Post shave: Alum + Yardley Gold AS
The new formula has really grown on me. It's a wonderful and capable successor to the tallow formula. I've a stock of tallow MWF which will last me a while, once it's gone - I'll br happy to buy the new formula.
I also had the opportunity to try out the the new formula with hard underground water. The performance was nearly identical to how the old formul behaves. In the hard water I get to use from time to time, the tallow formula residual slickness drops quite a bit and needs more lather to shave. Similar experience with the new formula.
