Greetings, A new shave set up to start another long bank holiday weekend....maiden shave with the Cella Organic Aloe Vera Shaving Cream. The Verdict?....Let me say that I'm very very, fond of the classic Cella Crema Da Barba (Tallow) with it's wonderful cherry almond fragrance which has always gave me superb acceptable shaving results with no irritation or drying out issues. The Organic Aloe Vera version is a thirsty cream you only need a small almond size amount i to create a good lather. I personally find it to have a better slickness than the Cella Crema Da Barba "which is statement in itself" and the post shave feel is equally as good. The scent of it i would describe to my nose, as 'light & fresh'. A wonderful pre-birthday present to myself which i look forward to using again in my future shaves. The Parker Variant/Polsilver was a superb combo. The Polsilver blades, like the Gillette Sharp Edge. (yellow) feel slightly rough on the first pass, but mellow out after that delivering a smooth sharp performance, cutting through my stubble effortlessly. A enjoyable 3 pass +pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a few generous squirts of Milton-Lloyd ~ no.9 Victor EDP to the pulse points. My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine. This afternoon i have an appointment for my 2nd Covid-19 vaccine. Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Saturday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Vintage Life Licorice Shave Soap Olivewood Silvertip Gillette Fat Handle Old Type Frankenrazor Personna Super (52) CWR PSC Caffeinated After Shave The Vintage Life Licorice Shave Soap lathered well with the Olivewood Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Fat Handle Old Type Frankenrazor with a Personna Super blade (52) gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... This brings to an end, for now, of my longevity test for the Personna Super Stainless blade. I added six more shaves to it for a total of 52 shaves. I will set it aside and continue at a later date.
Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze: Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/Astra Green day 13 Master Soap Creations Frosted Spearmint SS Prep ASB Master Splash Creations Frosted Spearmint AS Splash Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick Bleu de Chanel EdP Oh my goodness was this ever a frigid shave - even the mentholated pre shave soap from Stirling gave me a good icy punch while I was washing my face, and it softened up my tough beard stubble very well. The Frosted Spearmint soap’s delightful scent filled the bathroom, it lathered like a beast, the blade glide was terrific, the menthol sensation hit really hard, and the postshave feeling was perfect. The Prep moisturized and soothed my skin beautifully, while the Frosted Spearmint aftershave froze the living crap out of me - its scent is as gorgeous as the soap’s but it doesn’t disrupt the fragrance of the Bleu de Chanel. What a magnificent BBS shave this was! Have a good day - be well and safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
