New Pomade: Reuzel

Over the past few years I've been using pomade more and more. The versatility of different pomades, from low to high shine, low to high hold and the ability to layer throughout the day.

This being my first go with Reuzel I've been enjoying the lasting vanilla mint scent on this. Low shine, medium hold, it is also easy to scoop without the tackiness or stickiness compared to other pomades I've had in my collection.

Razor: Fatip Piccolo Special Edition

Blade: Feather (4th use)

Brush: Semogue Boar

Soap: Vitos Red

Aftershave Balm: Proraso White

All this week I have broke out these Italian classics. The Feather blade has been a perfect pairing for the more milder closed comb Piccolo head. Vitos has been a soap that the American market tends to overlook and is second-to-none to almost anything I have, using both it and Tabac as standard bearers.
