Hi all!
Using the Devette and a new Feather blade.
I tried a new shaving cream.
View attachment 237547
Van Der Hagan Whipped Shave Cream.
I started with trying to get it to lather and was impossible in a mug, it just disappeared.
So I decided that I was using it incorrectly.
I took a glob of it on my fingers and smeared it on my face.
It's very slick and then sticky, can it be both??
So sticky that I had a difficult time washing it off my fingers and so slick I couldn't hold the razor to shave.
Dawn dish soap took it off so I could hold the razor.
The first pass using this stuff was ok, just ok.
I found it so sticky it was difficult rinsing it off the razor.
I used the brush to apply it for the 2cd pass.
Not much better.
Adding water didn't seem to help.
Washing it out of the brush was a challenge too.
A liberal application of dawn soap helped clean it up.
I stopped....
I lathered up some Tobac and shaved the gord.
Now the VDH soap has a nice scent, like tobacco, but it's more a kin to lithium grease than shaving, uh ...cream.
Guess I'll just have to figure out how to use the stuff before I try shaving with it again.
Any advice on using this white grease is welcome.
The razor....
All I can say is that I am surprised, appreciative, and humbled to own such a tool!
