Sun 14th Gillette Weekend SOTD
Soap B&M The Full Measure of Man - New 1st Use.
Brush Yaqi 26mm Moka Express 2 Band Badger
Razor Gillette New SC
Blade Gillette London Bridge 4th use
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + B&M The Full Measure of Man Balm
Much anticipated soap. Received it a few days ago and the initial sniff from the tub was quite a mild scent and unique...very unique...is it cigar, is it tobacco, something else?...hmmm. Today during the lathering, the scent was stronger but I would say only up to mild. I am liking the scent as time goes by...hahaha. Sorta sweet, leathery cigarish...
Took a while before it becomes nicely creamy...have to add in quite some water. The slickness is really good. Overall, I am liking this soap and "may" fall in love later...this is definitely not a love-at-first smell...
Shave with razor paired with the blade was a perfect combination! Crisply smooth and comfortable for 3passes even during the atg pass on the chin & lips area without any issues for a mostly BBS finish.
The balm scent is definitely much stronger and I quite like it. Sweet but masculine, leathery, and cigarish. Even my wife says so and my neighbor (don't know anything about shaving soap) says the same. Initially abit sticky on the face but it was alright after 10mins. Nice, soft, and moist feel and I am in the tropics with outside temperature 32C. I went out in the sun and to lunch at a restaurant and it feels great. The aromatic cigarish scent remains 4-5hours later...nice!! Rating 10/10!

Greetings,

(Mothers Day Shave UK)

A relaxing Sunday morning shave..

The Cella soap performed superbly, each time i shave with this soap it's fragrance reminds me of 'cherry Bakewell tarts'...My current tub is near complete but, all is not lost, i have another unopened tub ready to use. I have a great fondness for sweet almond /marzipan fragrance soaps.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups Close comfortable Sunday morning shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with generous splash of P&G Old Spice Classic ASL.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy Sunday ladies & gentlemen.
