Greetings,
Maiden shave with the experimental superlather..The verdict?...
I mentioned in one of my previous SOTD's that i was going to try making a 'uber/superlather'with Williams Mug Shaving Soap, i soaked the the soap for 5 minutes in hot tap water, then loaded up my damp 'not wet' semogue 830 until i had a good amount soap on the brush, next i added 2 almond size dollops of Ingram Menthol Shave cream to my mixing bowl + 6 drops of glycerin & a few drops of water then started to mix up the lather adding more water when required to get the superlather to the consistancy i like...I was rewarded with a absolutely superb cool protective slick lather ,my only downfall of the experiment was i mixed up enough lather to do a 10 pass shave....i'll use smaller quantities next time, all in all though, a successful first 'Uber /superlather'making tryout.
The Supermax Blue Diamond titanium was a excellent match with the 24C, mowing through my stubble with smooth efficiency.
A comfortable Sunday morning 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons ~ Sensitive Post Shave Balm.
My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.
