Perfection on a Sunday morning, what better way to start the day
Enjoy your Sunday people. P.
I couldn't recommend it high enough, it may be a problem if you don't like large handles but I find it to be a great brush so much so I've ordered another one to put away because the prices are slowly going up and they change their lines all the time, a great brush!What do you think of the Moka mate?

Thinking of pulling the trigger on this one.
+1 on the Cella. And Venice.View attachment 36071
Brush: Omega S10083
Cream: Cella
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum(5)
I'm travelling again, and I bought a palmolive shave stick especially. But then I went for a walk around Venice and found a tub of Cella. Cella was the first 'proper' shaving cream or soap I ever used (thanks to the Newbie pass-around box), and it will always have a special place in my heart. That doesn't mean I can use it properly, of course. after a first attempt with not enough water on the brush, I used too much and ended up with a very wet lather with no cushion. What was left on the brush was perfect for the (partial) second pass, though.
I had intended to use the new edge on the Astra, but subsequent investigation revealed that I'd loaded the blade upside down when transferring it back from the Parker. It was immediately obvious that the blade wasn't as smooth as you'd expect from a new edge, but it was still very much up to the job on day 5.
Happy shaving.
