Very interesting “cream.” Am I correct in my assumption that it is more gel like than creamy? It has some good stuff in there, but it looks almost like the ingredients for a pre-shave. I like that it stays moist. I have something similar from Jatai, I will have to compare them. Cheers!

AFAIK it's a bit of a "one-off." It's BOTH gel-like AND creamy.

I'm applying for membership of the Souplex Owners Club, please.

I had my first shave with the Morecambe Marvel this evening. Thank you so much Scott (@Lee Van Cleft) for getting me this (hollow handled) marvel (LINK), much appreciated.

Just one shave (I'll do my usual seven consecutive trial shaves with it), and I'm in love.

So, on to my first Souplex OC SOTD:

Morecambe Marvel SOTD

Brush: none
Cream: Cella Rapid (9)
Razor: Souplex [hollow handled] Open Comb. The Morecambe Marvel. (1)
Blade: Personna Red (6)
ASL: Caffè Latte [home brew]

A fabulous shave.
My first shave with the Morecambe Marvel was superb.

I'm a Lightweight Handle Fanboy (LHF), so that was the reason I asked Scott (@Lee Van Cleft) for the hollow handled version.

For a lightweight it's quite heavy (considering its size). Here's a pic of it (16.3 grams) with my GT (15 gram) handle:

The GT was made by my (late) good friend Doug (@Rosseforp). It's hollow with an aluminum body and stainless steel nose and tail. I guess the Souplex handle is brass.

For anyone who's interested I measured my new (to me) Souplex OC. HERE'S THE MEASUREMENTS:

Complete razor (loaded): 41.3g (dimension 79.5mm)
Cap: 13.4g
Blade: 0.5g
Baseplate: 11.1g
Handle: 16.3g (dimensions 75.3mm x 8.5mm [across the flats] and 9.7mm [MAX])

That's probably all TMI, but there you go.


Happy shaves guys.
