And I did it....

Razor: Rocnel Model SE50, 2016 Version

Blade: Feather PG-15 Artist Club ProGuard Blades, #1

Shaving brush: Bruji “Cherry” - Alumilite resin shaving brush with a 25mm high-quality badger fan knot

Shaving soap / shaving cream: William Marvy Company Deluxe Shaving Soap

Aftershave Lotion / Splash: Stirling Soap Co. Almond Creme Aftershave Splash

Aftershave Balm: Balea MEN After Shave Balm Ultra Sensitive

Booster: Ethos Grooming Essentials Skin Care Collection Derma Boost Rejuvenating Elixir

Eau de Toilette: Tabac Wild Ride

No… not a bad lather day as such. I knew exactly what I was getting into and came prepared. Still, I wanted to find out how the Marvy performs on its own. Here is the rather sad face-lathering result.
Rescued from the second pass onwards, thanks to a boost from the finest Ethos Unscented RS, as seen on the last lather photo.

Marvy is a classic old-school barbershop Soap, so foam yes, lather no. Minimal cushion, no skin care to speak of. A good balm or moisturizer after the shave is not optional, it is essential. That said, it has brutal residual slickness and ghost lather. An honest shave and no frills.
