I used a bit too much of the shave oil which killed the lather a little, but still managed a comfortable shave
Clubman soap works very well, even with only a thin layer of lather.

I PIFed my original tub of Cella to a guy at work as I always struggled getting it to lather well. Many months on, I can comfortably lather every soap I've tried so decided to pick up another tub of Cella which is on offer at Connaught. Wow, this is a great croap. I was definitely the problem originally.
Loads of good slick lather and a BBS finish. This injector blade is getting better each shave as well.
A beautiful Featherweight, Fat Friday on this 20th day of Decadent December resulted in a decent DFS of both dome and face. I really enjoy Gem razors, and of my Gems, I can always count on my Featherweight and my favorite Mitchell's Wool Fat soap to provide a luxurious, thick protective lather that does away with the need for any preshave soap, and delivers a solid, comfortable shave. I feel smooth, clean and refreshed.

Missed my Shave yesterday as away and intended to have it on my return Home, but felt a bit under the weather so put it off.Today initial clearance a bit slow, but the rest went very well.I thought my last Shave was good with an E2/Dutch Schick, but the finish today was even better as maybe the skin was rested and more receptive to the blade.
