Greetings,
A new shave set up to start another long bank holiday weekend....maiden shave with the Cella Organic Aloe Vera Shaving Cream. The Verdict?....Let me say that I'm very very, fond of the classic Cella Crema Da Barba (Tallow) with it's wonderful cherry almond fragrance which has always gave me superb acceptable shaving results with no irritation or drying out issues. The Organic Aloe Vera version is a thirsty cream you only need a small almond size amount i to create a good lather. I personally find it to have a better slickness than the Cella Crema Da Barba "which is statement in itself" and the post shave feel is equally as good.
The scent of it i would describe to my nose, as 'light & fresh'.
A wonderful pre-birthday present to myself which i look forward to using again in my future shaves.
The Parker Variant/Polsilver was a superb combo. The Polsilver blades, like the Gillette Sharp Edge. (yellow) feel slightly rough on the first pass, but mellow out after that delivering a smooth sharp performance, cutting through my stubble effortlessly.
A enjoyable 3 pass +pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a few generous squirts of Milton-Lloyd ~ no.9 Victor EDP to the pulse points.
My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.
This afternoon i have an appointment for my 2nd Covid-19 vaccine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
Thank you Paul..."Luckily i didn't have any adverse reaction with the 1st jab, apart from a stiff arm the next day ,which was normal hopefully the second will follow suite. Take care. Yours-Barry.Good luck with your 2nd jab today.

Shave of the day.
29th May 2021.
Razor - Feather WS-D2.
Blade - Souplex #5.
Soap - Figaro P.160.
Brush - Shavemac 30mm silvertip fan.
Post - Pinaud clubman classic vanilla after shave lotion.
A great bank holiday weekend shave, the razor and blade combo working perfectly together.
The P.160 was whipped into a luxurious creamy lather with the wonderfully soft wall of badger that is the 30mm Shavemac.
I was left with a BBS finish with little effort and finished off with a good splash of Clubman vanilla aftershave, lovely!
Have a great bank holiday weekend chaps.
Paul.
