End of my J Gleave week, and I've finally got the better of the razor which I was always a little scared of before; I was very prone to slicing myself with it as it felt & shaved so differently from my other straights. I managed to avoid giving myself even a single cut and can now handle it much better. Also managed most of a week with the Cella soap, a make that I've never been as enamoured with as others on the forum. It's been better than it was - daily use seems to have improved its lathering abilities and it's slicker than before. Not, though, as slick & cushioning as many of my other soaps & creams, but I'm happier to use it now than I was. It is remarkable in one aspect of its face-lathering abilities though - it gives three passes on one loaded brush and still has a lorryload of thick lather left over. Not many of my other soaps can manage that.
