Razor: The Wolf SB-P WRH2
Blade: Shark Super Stainless (from the box)
Brush: Plisson Synthetic
Soap: Cella Red Tub (from the box)
Post-shave: Alum, Stirling Vetiver alcohol free Witch Hazel, Moroccan Organic Argan Oil
Today I realised, that I have only 3 more shaves left with the box and I that many of the products I would like to try will again slip through my fingers. Thankfully these thoughts came only after my very pleasant Sunday shave
Although I do not like my own Plisson Synthetic too much, mainly because of the handle and the too high loft, it is more pleasant than the Fank Shaving brush. Silky soft hair, easy to open up and brings out the best in every product.
This was my first encounter with the famous Cella today. Like with previous products, I do not want to comment on the scent, except to say, that is dissipates very quickly. From the second pass onwards there was very little almondy smell in my nose.
I can clearly see, why this soap is a favourite amongst wet shavers: it produces tons and tons of ultra slick lather from very little product without any effort. The lather explosion did not want to stop today. I like my lather a bit denser and more yoghurty – this was more light and fluffy, similar to Arko. I also had a very slight tingling in my face after the shave – I guess my skin does not agree with an ingredient – but both these observations fall in the YMMV category.
The Shark Super Stainless blade was very smooth, but not quiet as sharp as the Lord Super Chrome. It made for a pleasant shave, but at some very dense areas I felt a slight pull here and there. Still a very good blade, which I would also recommend – we all now how blades behave differently in various razor.
A great result with a fantastic post shave feel from the Argan Oil – like with Olive Oil, this is a great product for your post-shave routine and if you haven't yet, you should try it out!
