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.😎

SOTD with Raw Shaving RS-10 (last shave?)


RS-10 + Viriato.jpg


I had a great shave today, but probably my last with this RS-10 razor. As always it was very nice, smooth and exceptionally comfortable.
However, I decided to move on to other projects and part with this great shaving tool.
Anyone looking for a rare piece of modern luxury high-end razors?

Shave Score 9.8/10.0

Trying out my first goodfellas soap today, picked four up off a forum member, was very good quality, a quick 10 second load up for four face lathers, didn’t have to reload, subtle scent and tons or residual slickness left after each pass.
The ASL was top notch as well, again nice and subtle.

Have a great Saturday all

Joe
