I broke out the Cella set today for a nice comfortable shave.
Have a good one.
I pushed this soap with a lot of water and a big boar this morning. It performed really well! So far I've very much enjoyed this base.

Another win for Chromium Oxide with this razor. The first pass I wasn't so sure if it made a difference, but the 2nd and 3rd passes were very nice. Close and comfortable.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Wonderful shave today. This was my second use of the Iberia 14. I did not disappoint.
