First day with the AdP, lathered quite well but noticed that once in my face it "vanished", not drying, but getting thinner, do not know if evaporating or being absorbed by face, good shave anyway, although some irritation in the neck, but that may well be the TOBS Lavender I used yesterday, I have the impression that cream is passed (quite liquified)....

brush - stiff boar brush
bowl - brown/black swirl pottery bowl (from MOMA - textured) over juice catcher...jerry rig scuttle
razor - 5/8 Wapienica (my great SRP raffle prize!)
