(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend... I have returned to the Silver Star Super Stainless which have became my favourite from the Lord/Sotraco factory. Out of curiosity I'll be using the same blade with each of my shaves to test it's longevity & smoothness.

Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together wonderfully...The Cella Bio Aloe Vera shaving cream provided me with a protective lather in no time it doesn't have the same slickness as the original tallow version , but it's still a very good shaving cream. I will be placing an order for a bottle of the matching Cella Aloe Vera ASL as a early birthday present to myself.

Another enjoyable close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

SOTD 15-Apr

Brush: C&H 'Eyespot' V18
Soap: A&E Vanille de Tabac
Razor: Friodur 472
Post: A&E Vanille de Tabac

Nice shave this morning, the next part of my Tobacco kick with Vanille de Tabac. Very nice, seems like it might have a bit more vanilla than Haverford. It's a weird way to describe it so take it for what it is, but the Haverford (though strong) seems like something I would wear to work in terms of scent, if I went further than the spare room to work that is, but the vanille would be something I'd use when going out, weird like I say but there you have it.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc
