Another rainy morning. This was the sixth and final consecutive shave with the Feather AS-D2 razor and Feather Blade combination. The shave was good, but I could feel the blade was losing its sharpness. Today’s brush is the B&B Essential Boar, 10th Anniversary Version. The brush reached around to find sufficient soap to load onto the brush. This was my 45th use of the chunk of soap. The soap will soon be used up. It was a perfect 10/10 shave. Have a great day and week, folks.

Soap : Cyril R Salter Wild Rose cream. Nice scent of roses 6-7/10 strength IMO. Reddish tinge to soap but does not stain brushes.

Have some great shaves!

My seven consecutive shaves with Cella Rapid got better every time!

I must admit that if I'd only done two or three consecutive shaves I'd have instantly gone back to my brushes and creams/croaps/soaps. But now, I'm a Cella Rapid fanboy and will probably stay with it till the end of the tube (at least)!

RAPID PROs (for me) in no particular order:
  • It stays moist FOREVER.
  • As there's no need to lather, it cuts the shaving time down dramatically.
  • It's great to be able to see precisely what you need to shave (and what's complete).
  • Post-shave skin feel is great (and it lasts).
  • For further passes all you need do is dampen that area with wet fingers (no need to apply any more cream).
  • A little goes a l-o-n-g way.
  • (There's more, but the ones above are all I could think of "off the bat.")

RAPID CONs (for me):
  • The marzipan scent is weak (compared to the tub).

Here are the ingredients (Rapid and Tub) for those who may be interested:
