Whoops. Made up my lather before showering but, clearly, the brush was too wet. By the time I was ready to shave it was like a disco foam party in Ibiza. Bubbles everywhere. I did actually use it for shaving but it was quite humorous. I was covered in what could only be described as "gloop".

Will remember to shake the brush a bit more next time. :ROFLMAO:

Have a nice day everyone.

For me the Std base plate is a lot better than the "lite" plate which i found could clog when my lather was my preferred thick & creamy good stuff.
Enjoy your day all.

Thought I’d try this razor I picked up in Malaysia. Was amused to see on the back that I hadn’t noticed it’s distributed out of Harrow in the UK. Cheap pot metal but a solid plastic handle and a surprisingly smooth shaver but not quite on par with the Gillette Super Blue. Perfectly ok as a 3 piece travel razor and I must say I suspect the blades made the shave so good. Look forward to trying them again. First time I’ve used Zingari - this was the 2nd of 14 samples PIF’d and I think it’s a v good soap - tbh i find it hard to offer any comment of note unless a soap is particularly poor. Strong scent with lots of projection, a small amount produced loads of lather and I found it really slick once I’d added enough water. This particular scent is not for me - peaches / nectarine was really dominant and it reminded me of pot pourri / air freshener but post shave feel was noticeably good.
