I needed a quick Saturday shave so pulled out the (semi-polished) Yinson and some Schick gel... not a classic recipe, but it delivered a surprisingly good result. The gel is surprisingly slick, and at the end of the shave, took a bit of work to rinse it off my face. The Suneko is a very good pairing with the Yintal, and gave a smooth and drama free performance.

The Wickham soap is an old one from when I was starting this journey and there was no issue with it at all - great lather, scent still good, great stuff.
After years of just using shaving cream I've been really enjoying getting back to soaps, working on building the lather, taking my time and enjoying the shave.
DFS for a Saturday. Have a good day everyone!

In 2012, I grated three bars of this soap into a tin. I used it quite a bit back then because it was one of the few I had. It was a tallow soap, cheap, easy to find, and pretty decent. Fourteen years later, it's still performing as well as the day I first used it.
Enjoy your weekend
