Sunday

I actually have two shaves to speak of. I shaved last night, even thought I’d shaved that morning as I’d got a cheap Palmolive shave stick and I wanted to try it out ‘properly’ so to speak. I wrapped it in cling film and placed it in hot water for a few minutes until it softened a little, and then cut it into slices. I then pressed the slices into the bottom of my vintage scuttle. They stuck there quite firmly. I showered etc as usual; and tried making a lather like I normally do with a stick (i.e. rubbing it on my wet face, then face lathering). I wasn’t impressed. I then washed that off and made a lather from the soap in the scuttle. Again, I was not impressed. I’m not sure what I expected for 2.50 or what ever it was but at this stage it appears to me to be rubbish. Then again, I put Arko in a similar category. But I’m no soap aficionado.

This morning’s shave, though, was with Body shop Macca Root. Excellent cream. Lathers up in a 0.25 of a minute. It doesn’t need a lot of water added or a lot of whipping.

The De Pews did a great job each time. I like this razor more each time I use it, esp as I get used to its little ‘issues’ as they relate to how I hone it.
