Face lather and it was great! Add water slowly and soap bloom into great lather. So aromatic this pipe tobacco...sweet!
Shave with this new razor paired with this blade was really nice...mild feel but deceptively mild it seems. During atg pass multiple weepers occurs perhaps due to unconscious pressure.
Total 3+1pass wtg, xtg & atg and pickup atg. BBS but for the weepers would have been perfect. Rating today only 8/10

Greetings,


Early Morning Shave,


Last use of the Dorco Prime Platinum blade, which has performed wonderfully with each and razor that i've paired it up with throughout the week.

The Wickham irish fern soap, like the 1912 classic 24 soap is a joy to shave with, providing a wonderful slick protective lather, with only a small amount required and a great post shave feel.

The Wickham's soap's i have sampled have the best fragrances that i've had the pleasure of trying, the Irish fern soap really goes together with the old spice classic asl superbly, as does the 1912 classic 24 soap too.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth bbs shave with no errors to report...All the products in my humble shave set up today worked together superbly making the shave a very pleasurable experience.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Boots ~ Unscented Moisturiser Lotion.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Got the God Soap out again this morning, really average.

Nacet didn't want to perform at all, rough as hell. Left with a very patchy face now. I should have changed the blade mid shave but the GSB blade I unwrapped had glue on the blade edge and I honestly couldn't be bothered to deal with that nonsense so ploughed on with the nacet.
