Greetings,
A comfortable Sunday morning 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.
After the wonderful performance from my Vie-Long horsehair yesterday i've carried on using my Chinese horsehair brush.
Last sunday i had a experiemental Uber/Superlather trial with Williams mug soap & Ingram menthol shave cream + 6 drops of glycerin which was a great success, today after soaking the williams in hot tap water for 5 minutes,loaded up my damp Omega 48 Pro added a almond size dollop of Palmolive Classic cream & 6 drops of glycerin to the mixing bowl adding more water to the bowl until i got the lather to the consistancy i like.
Another wonderful slick protective Uber lather was provided, the only difference from my first experiment was i added a smaller quantity of soap & cream to the mix, which was enough for my shave,without having a boat load of lather leftover after the shave.
Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of The Real Shaving Co. ~ Post shave Soothing Balm.
My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.
