    I still remember using this soap on my 70th birthday, with the comment 'What else?' and I was puzzled that no one understood the reference.

    But these were the days when SaVa was on the crest of the wave and it was either part of one's personal soap stock or it was on its wish list, so I thought they had read it as if I wanted to imply that there was no other soap in the world: curious are the keys to reading a statement...

    We tend to 'see' what for each one is the most obvious option, without considering others! Usually...

    In fact it is good soap although I prefer tallowed ones and even among the vegan ones there are others that capture me more.

    But I can't understand if my opinion depends on its non-fragrance or its mechanical characteristics in itself: I'm not able to separate the two things.

    As well as the aftershave: apart from the fragrance, it is not balmy enough to leave the skin the way I like it and not enough alcoholic to satisfy my dermomasochism...
    It does leave the skin in excellent condition, but...with no emotion!

    Once again this vintage shaving machine has done an excellent job.

    And, last but not least, I don't like the live recordings: the noise of the crowd it's annoying.
    I want to listen to the musician, not to whom listens to the musician!

    There are TV shows I stopped watching for the same reason.
    I don't like shows in general, but I happened to fly over one: Italy got talent, maybe.
    There was an incredibly good guy on stage.

    And the director, with a sagacity worthy of Rommel, framed... judges and audience!

    But then, why aren't the chairs in the theater put in a circle? So people could look at each other more comfortably!

    Stupidly, they arrange them in front of the stage; which could make sense here: Italy is a nation of seniors, therefore of likely arthritic people and having to turn around and look at other viewers (which seems to be essential!) promotes healthy gymnastics for cervical arthrosis!

    Wednesday morning:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Derby day 5
    Speick Shaving Stick
    Bull Dog Moisturizer
    Booster Polar Ice AS Splash
    Polo Green EdT

    This Speick stick is another great soap which I’ve neglected for way too long and I was long overdue to use it. The scent is fresh and ready nice - it’s a blend of lavender and herbaceous notes, I love the way it lathers, and it’s so skin friendly. It’s also very readily available in Germany where it comes from. The Bull Dog moisturizer gave me terrific postshave care, and the Polar Ice aftershave is one of the best Canadian made products - no wonder it’s so popular in barbershops over here. Its scent is to me, so old school and nice but it doesn’t clash with any fragrance. All I needed were two passes to get a fantastic BBS shave!

    Be safe and healthy!

    Williams Wednesday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Soap
    Tom's 3D Printed Brush
    AutoStrop A1
    Gem Blue Star
    CWR
    Clubman Pinaud AS

    The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A1 with a Gem Blue Star SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Clubman Pinaud AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
