Believe it or not my order of Samhain arrived today! The soap and aftershave smell amazing! I'm going to take them for a test run tomorrow.
Do you scoop out some soap and put in in a bowl or do you lather directly in the container?

Container. However it may not be best for the soap.... Had a couple lose scent or get tallow funk - which may or may not be related.

The aftershave is really something, eh? Needs shaking, but has some great notes.

Thank you for letting me know. This one is Vegan so it won't have the Tallow concern. I think I will use a spoon with this one.
Yes the aftershave really is something! It smells fantastic! This is what's on the menu for Saturday.

A very nice scent from this soap. The lather is creamy, slick, and just wonderful!
Awesome shave with this cheap razor. The edge was very smooth and comfortable yet crisply sharp. Love the edge but not the scale...hahaha. 3.5passes for a satisfactory bbs/dfs/ccs finish without any issues. The aftershave smells great is truly chilling...wow...nice!!

Greetings,

Cold water face & head shave.

A new shave set up to start the weekend....Last week of my 'Focus on one razor month'. The Parker 98r/Super Max BDT duo was another great combo.....Out of all the subcontinent DE blades that i have paired together the parker 98r throughout the month the Super Max BDT, Treet 7DP & the Gillette 7'oClock SP have been my favourites.

As a small christmas gift to myself i have placed an order for a 100 Sunny Superior Stainless blades to add to my growing modest subcontinent DE blades collection of which i look forward to trying out once they arrive.

The inexpensive Pears Transparent Bar Soap makes a wonderful pre shave....Superb stuff!

The Haslinger Aloe Vera soap provided is such a great performing nice mild fragranced shaving soap which my mature skin loves and creates an acceptable lather in a short space of time which doesn't dissipate or dry out in-between passes leaving a superb post shave feel.

An invigorating cold water face and head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd The Man Cobalt EdT to the pulse points.

My face and precious swede are both feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

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