Thread: Shaving Cream and lather.

Hi everyone.

I have been shaving with a straight for a few months now.
I use a 7/8 hollow ground razor and a paddle strop.
I have a Japanese stone to refresh the edge from time to time and chose to use no paste at all.

Yesterday I tried Colleen's shaving cream before I lathered up with her Black Cavendish soap ( I can only but promote her products, by the way , and Colleen is a very kind person ) and I noticed a real improvement in the quality of the shave.
It was close to being the closest I could ever hope for
I used only soap before and wondered if shaving cream and soap had to be used together as I did ? or is the shaving cream in itself sufficient ?

Bonjour, Fabrice!
La crème ou le savon est utiliser séparément - vous n'est pas obligé de l'utiliser ensemble.

Pardonné-moi pour les fautes grammaire ou syntaxe, ça fait une longue temps que je n'écrit pas en français.

English version:
Hello Fabrice.
You use the cream or the soap separately - you don't have to use them together.

Excuse my poor French grammar or syntax, it's been a long time since I've written in French.

Thanks Milton!

At least you make an effort !
My neighbours on the other side of the Channel don't bother.

As for me, I used both.
Stupid French !

Excusez-moi mais la communauté de rasage au R-U sont les personnes très sociables et peuvent converser dans beaucoup de langues.
Vous pouvez employer le savon et la crème séparément ou faire « la mousse superbe » se mélanger ensemble. Il y a quelques bons articles sur B et B. Je devine que c'est un choix personnel. J'aime me mélanger, écrème un jour, savonne le prochain, d'autres ai leurs propres favoris
