    AG 1889 has the Darkwing (Duck Fat) base. I like everything about this soap. It is one of several top-tier soap bases in my inventory. The fragrance has really grown on me. I really looked forward to using it today.

    I used a West Coast Shaving alum block after the shave today. I got nothing. Why would I want to go out and buy Osma as luxury alum to get … nothing.

    I have no idea why people spread salt on their face after shaving. My advice is: don’t cut yourself or irritate your skin. And, if you think of wetshaving as “traditional” shaving, then you should be using a full-strength alcohol aftershave like us vintage shavers do. A block of salt is what I leave out in the woods for the deer as a salt lick. … :-j
