Brush - Yaqi Rainbow Handle/26mm Faux Horse Knot
Soap - Palmolive Classica Cream
Razor - Gillette New OC RFB
Blade - Voskhod (2)
AS - Williams Aqua Velva
In my MakeUp.UK order, I added a bar of Palmolive 'Refreshing' soap to take my order to free shipping, and I used it today as a preshave. It's a tallow formula soap, and oddly enough it's the same blue colour of the discontinued Wilkinson Sword stick, it's a shame there are so few shaving soaps in a deep blue colour!
It was the first time I had used this new tube of Palmolive Classica, which is the Italian made counterpart of the classic green Palmolive Cream which can be bought in the UK high street, which is made in Belgium. The Italian made Palmolive Menthol cream is quite different to the standard green shaving cream, and I was intrigued whether the Italian made version would be closer to the Italian made Menthol cream or the standard Belgian green cream. I started with a small dollop of Classica and built my lather, and I managed to get a copious amount of lather with minimal effort. It's been a while since I used the green version but I'd say the Classica is touch more concentrated but not quite as the Menthol version. I forgot how great a lather Palmolive cream produces, really slick with a nice amount of cushion, the Gillette New/Voskhod seemed to glide across my face, and the 2 pass shave was very smooth and comfortable. My face felt fantastic when I splashed on the Williams Aqua Velva.
A really enjoyable shave from the start to the finish.
Have a great day gents.
