2019-10-12, Saturday


This morning I was not in the mood for carrying out tests: just grabbed the Valobra soap which, for me, is a guarantee. The rest of the gear has passed any test since long.

Each time I see that soap in its own jar I see it is beautiful and particular.
But I bought the refill puck only and not because the deep-drawn aluminum jar is far too expensive for what it is, but because, at that time, I preferred to invest that money in a Super Aquarama almost new.

Vulfix 'The Mayfair'' Badger Brush
Vintage Souplex with a Gillette/Wilkinson Blade
Witch Hazel
Creightons Coconut/Rose Moisturiser
Massimo Tutti AS

The Bakelite Souplex is a recent acquisition and from descriptions seen elsewhere I was expecting the razor to be a 'bit of a beast'. Perhaps it was the blade selection, but I found it to be a little tame and it took a little work to get a DFS+ with 3 passes. I shall use something a little sharper next time!. A good shave but not quite up to my usual expectations.

Another beautiful straight! Very nice!

Soap: MLSW Jefferson Square
Razor: Unbranded Italian OC
Blade: Feather H-S
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Cella Eau De Lavande

Even though my last shave was less than eighteen hours ago and a new Feather was on board, this razor still needed to be loosened off a quarter turn to get a close shave.
Smooth Shaves to one and all.
