Greetings,
Early morning shave.
Maiden shave of the new wilkinson sword soap bowl..the verdict?..The only difference is the colour of the bowl , probably to give it a image change for the buyers market to try and boost sale profits i assume.
The W.S. soap bowl is a love/hate soap with most people who try it and are far too quick to condemn it, before giving it a fair chance,which is normally just once then throw it away in haste,and keep the bowl for other soaps...I've mentioned before in all fairness you can get a good lather and have good presentable shave with this glycerin based shaving soap it takes a little longer to get a lather you just won't get excited about it.The addition of the added glycerin makes a noticeable difference to the lather. The scent is clean and pleasing 'to my nose' YMMV however, with it been a in-expensive shaving soap people get bored of it very quickly,and some brand snobs will instantly condemn it as inferior in-expensive mass produced shaving soap ..Each to there own opinion, as the saying goes...
A comfortably smooth 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Sensitive Cooling Post Shave Balm.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
PS: Most importantly as with Halloween do keep yours pets safe this evening away from harm and horrible callous illegitimates.
