Well after the Penalty fiasco tonight I'll be boycotting my Cella, Proraso and even my new tub of Extro, at least until the feeling of being robbed has subsided! Fortunately I have other soaps, so it's likely to be OSP for the next wee while. However tonight's shave (before kickoff) was indeed with the Arancia Italiana and football aside it's a lovely soap.
Pre: hot towel and Pears transparent soap
Pre: Proraso Green Pre.
Soap: Extro Cosmesi Arancia Italiana:
Brush: PAA Phantom Aerolite
Razor: Baurmann 5/8 rp fh off balsa and 0.1u diamond
Post: Nivea Men
A funny mix of mint and orange! Face lathering with the big synth loaded with Extro was like being caressed by orange blossoms and cream. The blade, I think I may have taken a bit too keen. It shaved with consummate ease but I felt a little warm afterwards, my skin was smooth with a close result but a tiny bit harsh, and I really don't think I can attribute it to the soap. The next run out will probably be comfier though. The Nivea is lovely and rich, but even so, I felt a little tingle on freshly scraped skin that the Cien Hydro-Age Q10 (Lidl bargain!) never gives. All in all a good result (unlike the footy) but I was perhaps overzealous. I swerved the aftershave, given that I was getting a burn even from the Nivea!
