Another Christmas soap from @Blademonkey, cheers Paul.
Performance wise, very good. Scent wise it reminds me of Deep Heat or some other liniment lost deep in the recesses of my memory.
Happy Shaving one and all.

An evening to myself with boy out cruising and SWMBO and daughter (SWMBO No. 2) away into the big smoke to see The Bodyguard show.

Time to chill albeit I'm collecting the 2 women of my life after the show! [emoji30]

I've been lucky this week with some of the items I've ordered arriving in jig time. Tonight....step up OSP's Sandalwood cream. Opening the tub there is a subtle scent which multiplied as soon as it hits the lathering bowl. A damp brush is all it takes to have a blistering amount of rich lather. I thought I'd only put in a pinky nail sized amount of cream but it was a lather fest!

The lather performed really well with a good cushion and razor glide. I did find that I had to concentrate that wee bit harder for some unknown reason, I don't understand it myself, but it just wasn't quite up there with the likes of The Shaving Shop soap. I maybe need more practice at the lather but it was still a DFS.

3 passes with nothing to report and absolutely no irritation, weeper or redness. Finishing with Bart's Sandalwood aftershave lotion and balm had my skin smooth as glass again.

An enjoyable shave that has me smiling. I achieved what I set out to achieve!

Have a great night folks. [emoji1303]

A lovely shave for the last Sunday of the Year. The No 10 performed well and the shave was mild.....but very efficient. 3 Passes for a BBS finish:)

Unfortunately the New Year celebrations can not kick in for me just yet. The ongoing 'flu/cold sickness has claimed yet another victim at work and I have been 'parachuted' in to cover tonight....despite being unwell myself. For those who can.....enjoy the rest of your weekend!
