WILKINSON SWORD SOAP
This week I will be shaving with the Wilkinson Sword Soap (blue bowl) which I bought from Asda for £2. :icon_cheesygrin:
For the next few days I will shave with my Thick Handled Tech and a Derby blade. I always shave straight from the shower.
I only own Proraso white and green in terms of soap so these will be my benchmark. My soaping technique will be to bowl lather the soap for around 90 seconds and then build on the face. Im using a cheaper brush.
Day 1:
The soap has a “CHEAP†aftershave smell. It reminds me of when your granny buys you an aftershave set from poundland for xmas.
It creates quite a nice and easy lather. It did seem a little thin on the face but I will put this down to technique and see what happens next time. Comparing it with the Proraso it didn't have the same glide and ease of shaving. I did suffer from areas of drag.
Im a little bleeder. I “ALWAYS†cut myself however apart from a little nick it was cut free which I was quite impressed with.
Day 1 Conclusion:
Smells a little ruff. Makes a good lather. Could be better with improved technique. So far 6/10.
