So, verdict on the Cavendish?

You don't hang about do you?

Okay so scent strength is medium... Smells great off the puck but I did find the scent sort of disappeared once lathered, maybe I just got used to it? Performance was superb, a very nice lather. Gave me a significant tingle on second and third passes Will try it again and see how it goes, irritation can be funny IME it can be better or worse on subsequent uses.

So a mixed bag.
 
No messing here!

Hopefully the irritation goes away. I love the PAA soaps. I find all of them medium scented.
 
Tuesday 15th December



Wash with L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Entergetic Ice Cool Face Wash
Lather up with Wickham's 1912 English Rose & GanVillage Green 'Mystery' w/Banded Boar 22mm
Two pass (2 day) shave with Personna (Star Clone) & Lord Classic (1)
Hot rinse, cold rinse, alum wash & Rose of Bulgaria Aftershave​

Superb shave with the Lord Classic in this Personna branded Tech clone. The blade is very smooth and in this razor simply feels like there's no blade in there. Contrary to logic with a mild razor and literally no blade gap, I got an exceptionally close shave.

Lovely!
 
This must be the first time I've ever heard the R41 as ‘...less efficient.'

Razor: Henson Aluminium
Blade: King C. Gillette (3)
Brush: Yaqi Silvertip 24mm
Soap: Wickham Gothic Revival
Pre: Proraso Blue
ASL: Osma Alum
ASB: Proraso Blue



I love the smell of this soap. Excellent lather as well.

I'm going to try one of the new Minora blades in the Henson next. I can't say it's my favourite razor but it does deliver an excellent finish.
