Finishing to the shave off with a generous Splash of Aqua Velva ASL.(Spanish Version)
I've yet to try the original aqua velva, but the Spanish version is wonderful, which I bought blind, purely because of the Williams name. It complements the Williams mug shaving soap superbly.. I have another bottle on standby when I finish the one in my posting. As you've said great value, for a old school scented a/s splash. Give it a try it's excellent. Regards. BThanks for a great review. What did you think of the Aqua Velva? It seems to get great reviews on Amazon and it is very good value. Does it come recommended?

Sotd - today - the 26th of December
Prep - facial scrub
razor - Gillette Slim gold - (3)
blade - Wilkinson Sword - (6)
brush - Simpsons P8 Phyl - best
soap - Signature - Valentia
post - rose water toner
a/s - Deliplus locion
balm - none.
Result - stellar.
The last of my - 'new to me' soaps to try - Arran, Ariana and Evans - finally - my first use of a Signature soap. F**k me - the latter is a country mile ahead in performance - I mean really - not paying much attention - thick creamy lather - glistening - it looks quite odd - in the tin - shaving putty - might be a better description. Doesn't matter. From when I pointed a brush at it - to lathering - face in my case - it worked effortlessly. Top tier - for me - there's no doubt of that. Job done. Enjoy your shaves - I have to go back to work tomorrow. Harrrumphh. Yours - I.
@Boycie83 - cheers
@BrianH - very fine shaving soap indeed.
All the best Paul.View attachment 49990
Christmas morning shave as we're out later.
Great lather from signature soaps Hibernia with a citrus note to compliment the champagne!
Loving the brass asylum razor bought recently from Marco / Missoni on here. The more aggressive head works nicely with an Astra blade on a few days growth.
Went to take the photo and my lovely cat April wondered what I was doing!
A very Happy Christmas to all of you.
