  • Brush: Wald Stratos Goldvein 29mm A1 Fan

  • Razor: Tanifuji Spalding 0411 6/8" Full Hollow

  • Lather: Los Jabones de Joserra - Blas de Lezo - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Cerberus - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Blas de Lezo is my second soap from Los Jabones de Joserra aka Jose Martinez. Like Noir, which I tried a couple of days ago, the scent of Blas de Lezo becomes much more complex and sophisticated once the soap is wet and fully lathered. The scent has accords of oak wood, smoke, tobacco, leather and liquor. I mean. What's not to love!

The soap base is low-structure, but very slick. There are several oils in it; including an apricot oil. A very easy lather to use for a straight shaver.

Interestingly, Blas de Lezo is was a Spanish Naval officer who lost an eye, a hand, mobility of one arm, and a leg. He was the real-life Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Los Jabones de Joserra seems to have such interesting scents. I’d love to try some of their soaps one day.

Maybe I’ll see about finding some samples when I have a bit of space for more soap

Space is a huge problem after a while :) I certainly haven't solved it.
