Shannon's soaps have great lather and glide. I think it's a combination of the added tallow/lanolin but it works great for my skin.

Friday

Evening, gents.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJ DE89
Blade: Astra SS (7)
Brush: Kabuki Bamboo
Shave cream: Kiss My Face unscented
Aftershave: Alpa Windsor
Cologne: Alpa Windsor

That's the end of my Astra SS's and, although the shaves were fine, I won't be getting anymore. The Astra SP's, of which I have many, work better.
 
Soap - Wickham SS Dandyism
Brush - Granit C&S Badger
Razor - 1912 Ever Ready SE
Blades - GEM
EDT - G. Trumper Eucris

A slow relaxing shave this evening, bowl lathered, two very close passes and lashings of Eucris. Feeling fantastic, smelling fantastic!
