19 June

P&B Spitfire
Cadman M55 30mm Tuxedo
Merkur Progress 500 (2.5)
Feather Hi-stainless
Fine Snakebite
Chanel Bleu

​

A fine shave this morning. The Progress with a Feather seems to suit me on a setting of 2.5, which provides a superb, comfortable and efficient shave. A top quality adjustable razor at a bargain price. If I had started my wet shaving adventure with this razor, I might never have felt the urge to try another... but then again.
 
Good to see you in ripping form, Iain! Metally Glacial sounds like fun - I cannot get Alcolada Glacial here in Oz, but I do have some menthol crystals, so I'll give it a go.

Nanny's Silly Soap - Original (Moroccan Sands)
Tuff No.2 Herb Aftershave



I managed to re-purchase more of Nanny's Silly Soap - Moroccan Sands, before it quickly sold-out again; great performance and wonderful scent. The Tuff No.2 aftershave leaves my skin feeling great, scent is good but short-lived - a real steal at only a few Euro's and one of my best aftershave purchases this year.

Cold Water Shave
Brush: DS Cosmetic
Soap: CR Salter Indian Sandalwood
Razor: ATT SE1 - G
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (4)
Post shave: Cold water rinse, Shower, EO infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Bart's Balm Rosemary and Sandalwood Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: Copycat Bleu

A wonderfully smooth shave today, and the realisation of how i nicked my septum the other day, there are no blade stops on the razor head as they are not needed, however, this leaves the corner of the blade exposed, which would not normally be an issue unless you are going XTG under your septum - Noted and adhered to.
I like the routine of cold water shave then shower, its really seems to help. Anyway, i like it.

Round 2 and final round of B2 cleaning.
Today i used the help of a cotton bud, a tiny bit of Autosol and a cocktail stick.
a light rub of polish then each grove of the handle rubbed with the stick to remove the staining.
A final polish of the case and razor buffed - - -
Presto!





This B2 has toppled the MMOC as my favourite Vintage razor.
Stay Safe and enjoy your day All

New Soap Cella 1st Use
Bowl Red Nubs
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Fatip Grande OC
Blade Polsilver Super Iridium 2nd
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic Acid + Polo EDT + Cella Balm
New Cella Soap very mild scent...hardly can smell it but the lather quality... Wow!
Amazingly thick, creamy and slick. Easily whipped up with the excellent Rainbow.
Shave with razor paired with blade was excellent! Very smooth, sharpish and felt really comfortable. 3+1 multiple passes with no weepers nor irritation. Between BBS to DFS result. Icy water rinse (better than alum) followed by Thayers and Hyaluronic. Further soothed by the balm and nice fragrance from the EDT. Rating 9.7/10

 
Wow that's so polished I needed to put my shades on! Great job. P.

What's happened to Cella? Usually you'd have a Face smelling as if it were made out of marzipan.

Hahahaha...ahh well, that's what I thought...it should smell of marzipan, something I keep reading about in forums. I never smell of marzipan before so no idea how it will be but this Cella has a faint almond scent straight from the tub. Even my wife says a very faint almond scent. It doesn't matter because the lather quality is great. Perhaps the next few uses may bring out the proper scent....
Do you think if soaps kept in some vendors stock can be too long so as the scent quality is lessened?

Normally I use Prolines or Professional Super and I found the standard Professional to be quite rough. Hopefully that will improve with use.
2 passes and a touch up for a DFS+ finish
