Omega 81052 & Palmolive soap
Seehund 5/8

Result very clean. The Seehund is NOS so I just stropped it and shaved, it was sharp enough to shave with but could be better so I moved to the Allen & Son.

Hot Shower
Loccitane Face Wash

Monsavon Soap

Decided to try a new blade today also got a sample of Monsavon from FB not usually a fan of soaps but decided to give this a go.
With the NF2221 got a great lather with the soap and very good protection from the blade nice clean smell as well,the blade well i have been loving my superthins and would say these blades are on a par with them.

Really enjoyed my shave today.

Friday
Pre: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson chubby 2
Razor: Revisor
Soap: P160
AS: Ogallala Lime and Peppercorns
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
First go with the P160, it´s often compared to Cella (one of my favourites), but it has more of a clean marzipan scent and is thinner than Cella, but still plenty of slip and slick in it - more so than most other soaps. Very good soap! Cheers for the trade Rick! :D
