Greetings,

Another Williams Uber/Superlather sunday morning shave.


After soaking the williams mug soap for 5 minutes in hot tap water, then loaded up my damp Omega 10048 'not wet' until i had a good amount soap on the brush,the omega boars are great for both bowl & face lathering, the 10048 & it's sibling the 10049 can really hold some lather!.. next i added 2 almond size scoops of the 3P Croap Sample to the 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 after a minute or so , i was rewarded with a absolutely superb protective slick lather,without it drying out on my face inbetween each pass, which personally isn't a great concern to me, if and when it does because with most of my shaves i always use a post-shave balm ,conditioner or aloe vera gel.

The Superlather it'self was very like 'Cella' consistancy with a good post shave feeling to my face.Another successful Uber/superlather creation.

The Dorco Prime Platinum blade was a excellent match with the Baili BD 191 razor, mowing through my stubble with smooth efficiency..The baili razor is another razor i've hardly gave any attention to, but since my ruthless den clean out last year it'll be making more frequent appearances in my SOTD set ups.

A comfortable Saint Patrick's Day 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 old school devine.;)

Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Todays shave was my second with the arko shave stick, fantastic shave stick! Definitely becoming one of my firm favourites and definitely going to be in my rotation going forward.
I think its time to replace that dischem brush, it lasted for about 3 months but over the last few shaves its been shedding like there's no tomorrow. I have a second dischem brush i picked up the other day as a spare, but it will probably go the same way after 3 months.

My dad will be trying the credance that Tony sent me later today, he felt how soft my face was after using that stuff and asked me to help him lather so he can give it a try, its an excellent soap skincare wise!

Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: gillette 7 oclock (13)
