Beautiful Puma. Thanks for Sharing!

I love my Cella Soap: slick, rich, and easy to lather!
Have a great day, everyone!

Prep - Italian Almond Soap / Facial Sauna
Razor - Ever Ready 1912
Blade - GEM Personna SE (#1)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna (with glycerine)
After - Alum / Witch Hazel
Result - BBS

First time with SE and I'm shocked at the result. Found it very intuitive compared to starting with DE. The blade tugged slightly at the start but I was expecting it. I also came across my wife's old facial sauna when I was clearing out some boxes yesterday and thought I'd try it. I usually prep with Kyle's Method after a shower but I thought I'd live dangerously[emoji23]!
I was expecting some razor burn and at least a few nicks or whatever but no, not even a sting with the Alum.
