Well, sometimes you get a lousy shave and I blame the cream Seriously, I bought it when on sale and I seriously think there was something wrong with the batch they sold out ... or I had a lousy shave, all by myself :-)

Saturday 23rd February

Hot Shower and Facial Scrub
Vitos Pre/Post cream
Merkur 11C/Rapira Blade
Muhle Kosmo Silvertip Fibre Brush
Real Shaving Company Cream
Tea Tree and Peppermint Toner
Organic Shea Butter
Superdrug Forest Fresh AS
Dax Super Neat Pomade

I think the time has come to move some of my DE razors on to 'greener pastures' I am shaving with a few of them to decide which ones should go. Perhaps not a good idea. This was a 3 pass BBS.

Prep - None
Strop - 3 Inch bridle leather/hard felt
Razor - Clauss 6/8 stropped the night before
Brush - SOC 2 band badger
Soap - Williams puck/cold water face lathered
Post - Alum block followed with Thayers witch hazel
AS - Aqua Velva Ice Blue

As good a shave as yesterday's one with the Filly. All that with one of the cheapest to buy razors I own and definitely the cheapest most poorly performing soap that I own against a Filly and high end soap. Shakes head, there must be a lesson in there somewhere. Have a good weekend.

I'm sorry you had a bad shave with this soap. I'm curious to read how your next shave with this soap works out for you, because I've been interested in this soap for a little while.
