The soap's lather moved around my face. It was OK but could have been better. Razor and blade very good.

What did you feel about the soap, apart from it moving about your face? Can't say I had any problem in that regard. For me it could be a little more slippery but not too bad. How does it compare to the Bay Citrus and what did you think of the scent?

It was OK. Smell was nice but didn't really stand out (very subjective of course). I prefer the Bay Citrus smell and it seems stronger, too. It seemed to offer good protection, it just didn't look like it with lumps of lather slathering around my face. Could just have been me getting wrong; it's easier to lather off a big puck after all.
Thanks for letting me try it.

What did you think of bay citrus?

Another fine shave from the Sputnik. I think for me the Sputnik's a little smoother than the Voskhod after comparing the two but they are both good blades ! I have a different razor and blade set up for tomorrows shave.

Tried the Parker razor again ! Bit me badly twice, needed Alum & styptic to stop the bleeding ! Back to the Muhle R89 tomorrow, the Parker has had it's last chance, uneven blade exposure on the razor, one side shaves and bites, the other side does not seem to shave at all !!
