Do you use an app for your photos?Pre-work;
I loaded up the Thomas Clipper with a fresh Gillette Super Blue Silver (Chinese) blade as my last outing with one felt tuggy for the first pass, which is apparently not how it should go at all! This one...well, felt identical. It tugged and pinged my hairs which wasn't at all comfortable so I binned it and chucked in a Gillette Nacet on its first outing. Now, this is my first use of a Nacet blade and by jove they're cracking! They're mellow from the outset but make short work of hair. I can only assume the Gillette Super Blue Silver is a dud packet (@Bogeyman), but there we go! Life goes on and I don't feel hard done by, as it was @Blademonkey's generosity which allowed me to try them. I'll open the other packet he gifted me soon to see whether they're of the same ilk!
My first proper outing with OSP, another generosity gifted by @David68 (he won't accept any reciprocation, the bugger!) and it loaded so beautifully, became so shiny/sheeny during my face lather and gave me ample slickness. Lovely soft, powdery scent which is dulled slightly by the soapy smell coming through. I feel like I need more @OSP in my life but would definitely tend towards a more powerful scent - I'm still very much tempted by a full tub James' Bay Rum offering...
Extro Bay Rum did the job we know it can - lovely post-shave feel and minimal sting which is a further testament to this blade/razor pairing!
The razor made little work of stubble, the brush made little work of the soap. All-in-all, job is a good'un! Very comfortable two-pass tidy-up (WTG/XTG). I am 100% smooth in the directions I shaved, not too far off that in the directions I didn't. I'm comfortable, irritation free and ready to go!
Onto the next one, chaps!
I do indeed! I take the photos usually with an iPhone 7 then I'll use Snapseed for basic tuning/editing, Prisma for some filters at times and Over to add text, usually. That being said, you can add filters and text with Snapseed but I'm pretty particular and have found these three to work well for me!

Another excellent shave with the Rockwell this morning its a great razor , I decided to use vulfix Persian musk shaving cream today after reading @Satanfriendly s thread about this cream a few days ago I dug it out , I bought this cream last year and used it twice then it got put away like so many other products its a nice cream preforms great way better than tobs IMHO the sicilian lime one is definitely on my to buy list , I finished my shave of today with fine fresh vetiver which smells amazing and made my face feel great I'm smooth as a mofo lol ~ Have a nice day & enjoy your shaves
A quick insight into the Chinese cologne soap..it's a wonderful performer, excellent post shave feeling ,a nice light cologne fragrance, no risk of you "glowing in the Dark" or any "abnormal growths starting to appear after shaving with it.".for what it costs it's superb, i grated mine and moulded it into a plastic tub..which is ideal for face or bowl lathering.How is the soap and could you link plz.
I need to try me some Cella!
