Beautiful shot @ronweston! I'm a bit partial being Portuguese and all hehe, but I also have to commend you for your choice of cream. Excellent taste.

Thank you very much, Daniel. The cream is a fine product.

Giessen & Forsthoff
Polsilver Super Iridium
Nivea créme preshave
Omega 10019
Wilkinson Sword
Cien ASB

Confident enough to go for a BBS result, still a couple of rough patches, but its very smooth in general without any blood.

The Wilkinson Sword provides a very nice leather for head shaving so it seems.
I guess I'm one of the few out there who enjoy this soap.

DFS.

Like your arrangement, Loei. I bought a tub of the Wilkinson but have yet to use it. Maybe I'll give it a try soon.

You should Ron.
Many see it as a cheap not good soap.
To me, the trick to getting a fine lather out of this soap is using quite an amount of water.

YMMV ofcourse.

I'll be that in mind, Loei.
