    A promising start to the day: a beautiful mist welcomed my awakening after a night of sleep.

    Then I put my hand to the AccaKappa which I had given up yesterday.
    And I did a test, also helped by the big knot: 3 or 4 turns to load the dry cream allowed a protolather, poor actually, until I added water. At that point it began to lather decently, but I did not feel it guaranteed adequate protection and smoothness.
    Two more turns to load a little more and I obtained, with the due addition of water, a lather perfectly suitable for shaving.

    This is not a widely spread soap. I don't know if it depends on the price, certainly not cheap, especially considering that the cost (which is around 30 €) is certainly not due to cover the cost of advertising battles or valuable containers: a sturdy (although less than the Cella one) plastic bowl nor the design of the same (the black and turtledove certainly do not have an attractive appearance).

    This is a high quality product, well packaged and protected by the diaphragm that does not serve to prevent unwanted pregnancies, but to prevent a loss of moisture: a Germanic packaging, free from aesthetic frills and targeted to functionality.

    Like all high level products, it does not require high quantities of product to have an optimal yield.
    In this in this assisted by an excellent blade on an efficient and mild razor.

    The final vetiveration was in line with the excellence of shaving

    Second run with this configuration and it was another DFS. I had just a slight bit of irritation on my neck under my beard line but that was on me not my set up. This is a troubled area with strange growth patterns for me and I am trying to figure out the best way to shave there and get a close shave. I did have a couple very small weepers but those disappeared once I applied the Nivea balm.
