When it loads, it clumps. When I lather with it the bloom spreads out but it doesn't "fill up" with lather the way that a badger does because I don't get the same type of breach that a badger develops. The boar seems to me to hold the lather more at the tips...

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Martinez' custom: Chess King w/ 26mm silver tip badger
Soap: TSD - Bay Rum
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Genco Army & Navy
ASB: Caswell-Massey No. Six

Smooth shave! Have a great weekend.

My first use of this cream.
I found it very similar to TOBS Almond cream, although I found Acca milder aroma, and more consistent foam.
But it was my first use, and I need to test this more to be sure

The statement to my wife when I started this about "saving money" on razor blades makes her laugh. She sees another razor and just comments "saving more money I see." She is a good sport.

Pre: Hot shower

Razor: Boker "Griplus"
Soap: Cella

I had to stop myself from chuckle when I shaved, it was such a treat. Really, I had to pull my face together to be able to shave. What a blade!

SWEET BOKER~~~~

Location: Sydney Australia
Prep: Hot Shower/Hot Towel
Strop: Illinois 835
Soap: Proraso (White)
Razor: Crown & Sword 6/8
A/S: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm
I know this is the second time this week I've featured this Crown and Sword, but I just couldnt help it. I'm so impressed with how its shaving now. After giving it a touch-up and shave test bach home on Sunday night, I gave it 60 laps on the Thuringian fillowed by 8 laps on the Chrome Ox balsa, and brought it back to Sydney with me.
I shaved with it last night, but had to use it again tonight to make sure I wasnt hallucinating. The shave was as good as it gets with one WTG pass and it seems to have a magic edge that can distinguish between flesh and wiskers. I feel totaly relaxed while using it.

Have a good weekend boys
Grant

Thanks, Rene. I took this one with the intent of showing you how my 830 holds the lather...
