You're still hiding that poor lovable bloody copper lather bowl

Different soap, 1/2 teaspoon of soap OK

Shannon’s soap base’s texture is soft and tacky croap. The soap easily generated a rich creamy high density lather with awesome overall performance, a Top soap IMO. To me the scent is a well blended Aromatic Aquatic Barbershop that reminds me of B&M Waves and Blue Stratos, I actually prefer it to their standard Barbershop scent, scent strength 8/10. The Yaqi Sputnik gave another awesome efficient smooth shave, near BBS.

The Gear:​

  • Pre Shave: Suavecito Brushless Shaving Cream
  • Brush: Boti “Pearl” with APShave 24/52 Synthetic 2BED Fan
  • Soap: Shannon’s Soaps Ltd - RebRab
  • Bowl: Fine Accoutrements
  • Razor: Yaqi Sputnik AL (55gm), a “Hone” clone
  • Blade: Gillette - Wilkinson Sword {India} PTFE (3)
  • Splash: Imperial Bergamot AS with added Menthol
  • Balm: Lucky Tiger Vanishing Cream
  • After Shave: Blue Stratos AS Lotion
  • Moisturiser (Later): MooGoo Hydrate Cream [A]

Needs a polish, Speedmaster. :ROFLMAO:

I use a microcrystalline wax for surface protection, but it needs a birthday every so often.

I can see why the poor copper bowl is crying, because, you kept on hiding the poor bastard and waiting to get polished.
