Pre: Warm water, Crew oil
Razor: Timeless, 0.95 scalloped base plate
Blade: Feather
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk2
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Fine Snake Bite
Post: Proraso Green Lotion

The Snake Bite lathered up a storm, created lots of thick smooth lather. Once applied performed very well followed by a massive menthol hit. As usual the Timeless paired with a Feather blade gave a comfortable shave, one pass and touch up for a DFS. Finished up with Proraso green for that extra chill. View attachment 38371
Have a good week gents.

I have the Fine Santal Absolut and I agree about the lather! Performance is great too. I ve noticed that even with less creamy lather the protection is top notch. I highly recommend these soaps. (Not cheap though)

For the next shave with Snake Bite, I recommend the Mennen Skin Bracer. The menthol hit from the shave will last and last...

Karve razor using the D plate. Very close shave but the aftershave had a good amount of sting. Maybe the Bolzano blade wasn't the right choice.​

I didn't like the Bolzano too Kevy.
