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.
Yes I saw Johan use Noir. I have that too. Also a very interesting scent. Actually, a little darker/warmer in scent than Blas de Lezo. I won’t be letting go of either of these.

Let’s settle for a draw, then.
I’ve seen Johann from S&B have good things to say about Noir - maybe I should test this once as well
Tis but a scratch.

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.
Damnit! That does sound delightful. Too many things to try
Oh, I hear you! As you have demonstrated, Cerberus pretty much complements anything.
Sounds like a nice scent
Definitely a perfect fit for me this time of year.
