<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In recent years, packed international and domestic itineraries usually have the briefest of respites on Christmas Day before resuming, in force, on Boxing Day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was not always the case. While there were spasmodically matches on Christmas Day, mainly in the subcontinent, they were few and far between. But in the decade from 1926-27, Australia staged a few games over the holidays. In 1926-27, South Australia hosted Queensland in a Sheffield Shield game which started on Christmas Day, and a crowd of 10,000 turned up to watch. Two years later, two games included play on Christmas Day - South Australia again entertaining Queensland at Adelaide, and Victoria playing New South Wales at the MCG. At Melbourne, spectators who opted for a day at the cricket ahead of more traditional celebrations got their money's worth ... and more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the close of the second day's play in the game - Christmas Eve - it seemed to be heading towards a predictable finish. Victoria had made 375 in their first innings, thanks to hundreds from Jack Ryder and Ted a'Beckett, and in turn had reduced New South Wales to 58 for 7.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">New South Wales staged a slight rally the next morning in front of a small crowd, but when Hal Hooker, their No. 11, strode to the middle to join Alan Kippax, who then had 20, the follow-on seemed a certainty. Kippax, the NSW captain, was a good batsman who played 22 times for Australia, but he was not in great form, and although he had just been named in the side to meet England in the third Test of the 1928-29 Ashes series, four low scores had left him in need of runs. Hooker was a genuine rabbit, who even batted at No. 11 for Mosman, his club side in Sydney. As Hooker took guard, Jack Ellis, Victoria's wicketkeeper grinned and said: "Have a go, Hal, the bowling's easy." By the end of the day, Ellis was ruing his aside.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">To start with, Hooker did chance his arm a little, reaching 28 in quick time, but thereafter decided that his best plan was to hang around and try to give Kippax as much of the strike as possible. After lunch, which was taken with the score on 170 for 9, Hooker shut up shop completely, adding just four runs in the entire afternoon. Ryder, Victoria's captain, surrounded him with a ring of close fielders, but Hooker defended resolutely as Kippax scored freely at the other end. Remarkably, Hooker took more of the strike - 4.8 deliveries per eight-ball over compared to Kippax's 3.2 - but the runs came steadily. In the session, NSW added 100 runs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hooker later recalled that the Victorian fielders were so close to him that Kippax asked if he wanted to appeal to the umpires. "No," replied Hooker. "The thing that amazes me is that the bowlers can get the ball through the fieldsmen without touching them."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As news of the last-wicket stand spread, the crowd (leaving their Christmas dinners) swelled, eventually reaching almost 15,000. Kippax's initial nervousness about his partner had disappeared, and most overs followed the same pattern - Kippax would crack as many as he could from the first two or three balls, and then happily take a single to leave Hooker to fend off the remaining four or five deliveries. By the close, New South Wales were 367 for 9, and the last-wicket partnership was worth 254. Kippax was unbeaten on 221, and Hooker had just brought up his fifty in a shade over four and a half hours.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The next morning as the pair resumed, Kippax turned to Hooker: "She's right, son," he said. "We've got all day." Victoria's first-innings score was soon passed, and then the pair opened up. Hooker soon fell to a catch by Ryder in the slips off Beckett. In all, he batted four minutes over five hours for 62; Kippax was unbeaten on 260. New South Wales had moved from 113 for 9 to 420 all out. Incredibly, Hooker's dismissal was the first chance offered by either batsman throughout the 307-run stand, and he perished off a rare attacking stroke - he hit only three fours in all. Kippax was not too amused by the nature of the dismissal and promptly said to Hooker "You fool! Why didn't you get your hundred?". The marathon partnership had worn Hooker out, mentally and physically. "I just couldn't take any more skipper.." he replied. The five-day match petered out into a draw and Hooker, by his own admission, was as stiff as a board for two days after his efforts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The game finished on Thursday, December 27 1928. The 307 run partnership between Kippax and Hooker set the record for the 10th wicket in First Class Cricket and still stands up to today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Funnily enough the story of Hal Hooker doesn’t end there...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hal Hooker (in the return fixture against Victoria that same season) also became the first Australian bowler to take 4 wickets in 4 balls in first class cricket. Stranger still, had the catch not been dropped (an easy one by all accounts) off the next ball he would have become the first bowler ever in first class cricket to take 5 wickets in 5 balls!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We teamed up with a master wood turner South Africa to create some uniquely South African wood handle brushes and razors. The first batch was made from a wood called Waboom (Wagon Tree). This a very special uniquely South African wood also known as Protea Nitida. It is the only Protea that grows into a tree with usable timber. It is named Waboom (Wagon tree) because in the in the old Ox-wagon days, the wood form this tree was used to make wagon wheels and brake blocks. This tree is now protected and wood stock is extremely rare to find. The grain pattern is distinct with extremely fine detail. It almost resembles snake skin.</div>

Before we get into the review, just a short note about <b>Shaver Heaven</b>: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Shaver Heaven artisan shave soaps have gained a great reputation in the traditional wet shaving community and are highly sought after. The hallmarks of Shaver Heaven soap are high quality ingredients, great performance, and luxury scent profiles. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Family owned and run in Melbourne, Australia (established in late 2014), the business was the brainchild of Anthony Macri (soap maker, manager, and wet shaving enthusiast). Their ultra high quality, handmade, artisan soaps have made a large impact in the traditional wet shaving world. These soaps are made in small controlled batches to ensure high standards and top quality. All Shaver Heaven soaps are 100% vegan, and contain only the highest quality responsibly sourced ingredients. They are also paraben, SLS and phthalate free. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now onto the <b>review</b>: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The shave soap comes in a 250 ml plastic tub with a screw top lid. Each tub is loaded with 150 grams of soap. This gives you ample room to get your brush in and work the soap. This was a very thoughtful touch and illustrates the fact that is soap is made by a fellow wet shaving enthusiast. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">For the purposes of this review we used the Desperado scent profile. This scent is described by Shaver Heaven as a leather scent which evokes the days of the cowboys and the wild west. I found this to be a very masculine scent with a notes of leather and a hint of smoke. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In terms of texture, the soap is fairly soft. I used my High Mountain badger brush for this review (this is my 'reference' brush for all new soap testing). Loading the brush was quick and easy. I then lathered the soap directly on my face. This soap lathers up beautifully. The resultant lather was tight, creamy and very slick. Adding in a few drops of water along the way, just makes it better. The lather easily developed the snowy peaks and sheen coating that I look for. (I was having so much fun lathering this soap I almost forgot about shaving!). The lather sits on the face very easily and I felt no discomfort or irritation. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Now onto the shave: I loaded up a Gillette Yellow blade into my Parker 99R DE safety razor and got to work. The slide and cushioning from the Shaver Heaven lather are fantastic. The blade glides easily over the skin and leaves a film of slickness that remains between passes. The lather was stable and did not dissipate or dry out over the course of my usual three pass shave. (although I ended up with enough lather for about 5-6 passes!) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The skin care properties and post-shave feel of this soap are magnificent. I rinsed off with cold water and my skin felt baby soft. I almost felt like I did not need any after shave splash or balm. An excellent shave all around. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In my humble opinion, a good lather is a key factor in the traditional shaving experience. Overall, I find this to be one of the best performing shave soaps we have tested. A top performer in all departments: Lather, Scent, Skin Care. <b> Highly Recommended!</b></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
LEA shave cream is manufactured in Spain. The company has been making skin care products since 1823 and has a great reputation amongst the Spanish wet shaving community. This is a review of the LEA Mentholated shave cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cream comes in a 100ml metal tube with a screw top lid. The convenient 100ml size allows it to be taken as hand luggage on aircraft. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
LEA Sensitive shave cream is a personal favourite here at RVT. The performance, scent and lather is excellent. I was keen to see if the mentholated version would match up. I need not have worried. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The added menthol enhances the scent profile of this cream. Similar notes to the LEA sensitive but somehow made a bit more intense by the menthol addition. I squeezed out an almond size blob into my shave bowl and lathered it up with a damp badger brush. Wow! The lather is brilliant. Creamy, with a slick sheen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the face you pick up the menthol cooling effect. It is not as strong as Godrej Blue, but the menthol is definitely noticeable. I was using a vintage straight razor for this test and there was excellent slide, protection, and cushioning. I had more than enough lather for three passes and the lather was stable throughout. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My verdict: The great performance of LEA sensitive cream, with the extra 'zing' of menthol. A match made in heaven (for me). highly recommended.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ach Brito Lavanda shave cream is manfactured in Portugal by the Ach Brito company (manufacturing high quality soaps for over a century). They are swell known for their Mediterranean and fresh lavender scents. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cream comes in a <a href="http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/197527627/Ach_Brito_Lavanda_Shaving_Cream_100g.html" target="_blank">high quality 100g metal tube</a> with a screw top lid. The tube uses a slightly narrower nozzle, but it does give slightly more control over how much you squeeze out (an almond size blob normally does the job nicely). The cream is Lavender scented and the formulation has a coconut oil base, and enriched with Lanolin and oat extract. I had good expectations for this cream because it comes form the same company that makes Top Secret cream (one of the slickest creams we have tested).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I soaked my badger brush in warm water and then decided to lather up. I wring out most of the water from the brush then add in more water as I need to the lather mix. I did notice that this cream does require a bit more water to get going but, once the mix is right, the result is a rich creamy lather. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWmiNZYxUKmfB_9hI-hs6Ij__IswiA7otPOoeXnA0bgC6M5OWi_s4Zeo-v9JfABS9faRvk6aPz3KmumfOZkY4dR_S_dKrBIZiwRrBkUjFl8ICw3KAxo3rD_NpTKsBswcvVhlHLCRzn0MCc/s1600/IMG_20150818_195915.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWmiNZYxUKmfB_9hI-hs6Ij__IswiA7otPOoeXnA0bgC6M5OWi_s4Zeo-v9JfABS9faRvk6aPz3KmumfOZkY4dR_S_dKrBIZiwRrBkUjFl8ICw3KAxo3rD_NpTKsBswcvVhlHLCRzn0MCc/s320/IMG_20150818_195915.jpg" width="270" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lavender scent is not too strong, but is pleasant and fresh. The lather is very gentle on the face and I noticed no irritation at all. I was using a Fatip Grande razor for this shave and there was plenty of lather for three passes. The lather is stable and does not dissipate. I found the slickness and cushion to be very good and the shave experience to be very smooth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The highlight of this shave cream (for me) is the skin care property. After the shave my face felt very soft and smooth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, I find this cream to be an excellent performer. Highly recommended. </div>

Very nice infographic with all the important things you need to know (courtesy of our good friends at <a href="http://primandprep.com/">primandprep.com</a>). If you are still undecided, this should be a big help. Better shave, better value, better skin, and a lot more fun. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arko soap from Turkey is one of our favourites here at River Valley Trading. You can read our review <a href="http://rvrazor.blogspot.com/2014/08/product-review-arko-shave-soap.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RVT crew member Riaz has done a comparison of Arko against Tabac.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I was presented with a refill stick of Tabac as a gift. I have heard a lot of good things about this product. It's one of only 2 shaving sticks that I am aware of that you can buy off the shelves at a regular pharmacy or supermarket in South Africa (The other stick being the Williams)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Tabac has a strong following so I was keen to give it a try. Its packaged well and once you take the foil wrapping off the smell is strong but pleasant. Like tobacco. Earthy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I chopped it up into pieces and pressed it into a bowl . Its hard so it took some effort. I soaked my Muhle badger brush in some hot water and got rid of the excess. Put very little water in the bowl and started to work on it. I found the Tabac soap lathers up fast and easy. Nice and rich. I applied it to my face and it was time to shave. I use a Rimei razor (it's a Gillette Tech clone) which works really well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My first impressions of the Tabac soap were positive. A good clean shave. Decent cushion and good glide. After the shave I lathered up again as is my standard practice to let the good stuff in the lather work on my face. My plan was to use the Tabac for a week and then the Arko for a week to do a fair comparison. I used the Tabac for 3 of consecutive shaves and then on the fourth I found that the soap was causing some irritation to my skin. I had to be sure it was the soap and not any other factor so I switched to Arko. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was really surprised. I found the Arko lather had better cushion and glide , as well as better face care properties. After a week of clean shaves with the Arko I had no irritation at all. The only thing the Tabac had over the Arko was a better scent. However, I think the ingredients responsible for the distinct Tabac scent were not in agreement with my skin. This was rather unfortunate (for me).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, the Tabac is a decent product but I found the Arko soap to be superior." *</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>* Thanks to fellow wet shaver Riaz for taking the time to share his thoughts. As we say in the wet shaving community "YMMV - your mileage may vary". Everybody's skin is different, and the joy of traditional wet shaving is that you can find the right Razor / Soap / Blade / Brush combination that works best for you. Keep what works, and discard what does not. </i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
River Valley crew member Riaz has been kind enough to share his review of La Toja Sensitive shave cream: </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I was given a sample of La Toja Sensitive. This a Spanish product. That’s about all I knew about it*.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has a nice subtle clean scent. Nice pearly appearance. Put some in my bowl and started lathering up with my Muhle Badger brush. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lathering was nice and easy, I was not sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. Good stuff off the bat. Great cushion and glide. After the shave I lathered up again and let it sit for about 1 minute then rinsed off. Went over my face with alum and was done . My face felt so good I needed no aftershave besides the Alum.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have used the La Toja Sensitive now for 2 months. I am happy to report that its performance and face care properties are top notch. Definitely worth every cent.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also did a comparison to a tried and tested work horse: Samsol. After 3 consecutive shaves with the LaToja on the 4th shave I went to my reference point (Samsol). Samsol as usual is a great all round performer.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, I have to admit that the La Toja is better (marginally). Overall verdict: a great product!" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*<i>La Toja Sensitive cream comes in a high quality 150g sealed metal tube with a screw top lid. The shave cream is manufactured in Spain and uses mineral salts from the famed hydro-thermal springs on La Toja Island. </i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If any shave soap has developed a cult following among wet shavers world wide it is Mitchell's Wool Fat (abbreviated MWF or also known simply as 'The Fat'). The soap is made in England using a recipe that dates back to 1893. Bradford chemist Fred Mitchell realised that sheep shearers and handlers always had exceptionally soft hands. This was down to the natural lanolin found in sheep's wool. He then devised a soap recipe using sheep's wool lanolin that performed brilliantly for all complexions and sensitive skin. It is that same soap formula that is still used today. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I reviewed the 125 gram puck. It sold as a 'refill' puck due to the fact that the soap is also sold in a white ceramic dish. The soap comes in a brown cardboard box, and is wrapped in wax paper. The scent is very mild and clean. The first thing that struck me when I unwrapped the soap puck was how hard this soap was. Definitely one of the hardest shaving soaps I have come across. I put the soap into a plastic container and while I left my badger brush to soak in warm water. I also decided wet the soap with a bit of warm water (just o ease the lathering process - very hard soap this!). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After soaking my brush and shaking off a bit of the excess water I set to work lathering up. I got a decent load on my brush after about 20-30 seconds. I decide to build up the lather directly on the face. This soap creates an extremely slick lather. It works up fairly easily and a touch of extra water may be needed to get the lather to right texture. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I then set to work with a Parker 99R razor with a Rappira blade. The slickness of the MWF soap is amazing. Incredible glide and good cushion as well. I had more than enough lather for 3 passes. One can easily see why this soap has such a large following. It has a very delicate clean scent, and it performs superbly. There's not much more you could ask for from a shaving soap (in terms of performance). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The skin care properties are also very good. The lanolin content of the soap leaves the skin feeling baby soft and smooth. The soap goes on gently and is very mild on the skin, I would highly recommend for shavers with sensitive skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cost/ per gram ratio of MWF soap is a bit high (compared to Arko, Derby and Godrej), but you do get you pay for with this soap. This is a very hard soap so a puck should take you a long way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, this an excellent performing shave soap. The slickness of the lather creates very good slide and reduces blade 'skipping' (even when going against the grain). The scent might be too mild for some, but I was more than satisfied. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Verdict: Highly Recommended!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most seasoned wet shavers will tell you that proper face prep is key to a good clean shave. One of the best ways to soften up the beard and prepare the skin for shaving is by using a hot towel against the skin. Anyone who has been to a professional barber for a full hot towel shave will testify to this. Most barbers use specialised towel steamers but there is a way to create your own hot towel at home. It's a fairly simple procedure. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You will need the following items: </div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Face towel </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Essential oil eg Ecalyptus, Sandalwood, Lavender (optional) </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Microwave oven </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wet your towel and wring it out. You can then scent the towel with a few drops of essential oil (a bit of Vick's Vaporub does the job if you don't have any essential oils). Put the towel in the microwave for two minutes on 'Very High' setting. The towel should come out steaming.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Please be sure to check the temperature of the towel before applying it your face. Towels straight out of the microwave can be VERY hot. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wrap the towel around your face and let it sit for a minute or two. This will soften up the whiskers nicely. Some barbers apply a bit of pre shave balm, or lather to the face before applying the hot towel. You can experiment with this to find what method works best for your skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The round off the barbershop experience, you can also finish off the shave with a cold towel. Wet a towel, wring it out, put in a Ziploc bag, and then leave it in the fridge overnight. You can then apply this to your face after shaving.<br />

<br />
River Valley trading crew member Riaz has been experimenting with various brands of SuperMax blades for the past month and he shared his findings with us:<br />
<br />
I have been using the entire range of Supermax blades available to me over the last month of September 2014.<br />
<br />
Each blade was used for three shaves then I moved onto the next one. The creams that I used alternatively were Body Shop and Godrej Sensitive (Red).<br />
<br />
The blades I used were :<br />
<br />
Supermax Blue<br />
Supermax Yellow<br />
Supermax Green<br />
Supermax New & Improved<br />
<br />
<b><i>These are my subjective opinions on the above:</i></b><br />
<br />
I started with the Yellow - a blade I am very familiar with and use most often. A good clean shave. A good compromise between smoothness and aggressiveness. Holds a decent edge for three shaves at least.<br />
<br />
Then I went onto the Blue. Excellent. Definitely a cut above the yellow. Very smooth and comfortable shave. Ultra close. Feels very similar to Treet platinum which is the softest that I have ever used.<br />
<br />
Thereafter the Green. I was pleasantly surprised. Very smooth. A notch below the blue. Silky as well. Very close shave. I like this one.<br />
<br />
This week was the “New & Improved”. Honestly , I don’t know what’s new and improved about this one. Maybe new and improved packaging that’s about it. It felt really rough compared to the above. The shave was decent but felt really aggressive. Would not buy this one again.<br />
<br />
If I could rate all, this is how I would put it:<br />
<br />
1. Blue<br />
2. Green<br />
3. Yellow<br />
4. New & Improved ( was the worst).<br />
<br />
As a follow up from the above. It was my first time using the Godrej cream. I used it alternatively to the Body shop maca root so that I could compare. Here are my findings.<br />
<br />
1. Body shop Maca root. As per my previous review of this product. Nothing has changed. An average cream at best. Will do the job but at this price point (R120) I would expect much more in terms of cushion and glide. Best thing about this one is the face after care. As usual with this one for me, always 1 or 2 minor nicks.<br />
<br />
2. The Godrej comes with a worldwide reputation so I was very interested to see what the hype was all about. Dispensed a pea sized amount of cream and lathered it up. Lathers up easy and rich. A tad more water required for this one in my opinion. Lathered up and gave it a go. Brilliant. Excellent cushion and glide. To me the face care is better than the body shop. You definitely have that fresh glow after the shave. I can see why this is sought after. After this initial test I have been using it for the month of September 2014 alternatively with the Bodyshop. I say for sure that the Godrej is a superior product. Not one nick or cut, not one!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A household name in India, Godrej has been manufacturing shave cream since 1969. Although highly sought after by wet shavers throughout the world, this shave cream is extremely difficult to find (let alone purchase) outside of the Indian subcontinent. There 3 main varieties: Menthol (blue), Lime (green), and Sensitive (red). I'll be reviewing Godrej Cool Menthol (commonly known as Godrej Blue). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This cream is regarded as one of the more upmarket shave creams in India. The cream comes in a 60g plastic tube with a screw type cap. The one I was testing had 30% extra free, so the overall tube had 78 grams of cream. the quality of the tube is quite good compared to other Indian / Pakistani shave creams. The first thing that struck me was the scent. Very clean, slightly woody, and with a hint of menthol. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I squeezed out a large pea size blob of cream into an 11cm double wall shave bowl and set to work with my badger brush. Lathering is super fast and and very easy. This has to be about the easiest lathering cream I have come across. Just add in a few drops of water to get the shine and work it up till you see those fluffy peaks. I must admit at this stage that I was slightly disappointed with lack of menthol scent coming off the cream. I was expecting the menthol effect on the skin to be rather mild. I could not have been more wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being a fan of menthol shave creams (especially Proraso green), I had heard good things about the cooling menthol 'zing' from Godrej blue. The menthol scent might be mild but cooling effect is excellent. As soon as I applied the lather to my face I felt the coolness - not too icy but just right to cool you down on a hot summer morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lather provides excellent cushion, and the slide is very good. Only slight drawback is that the cream does leave some residue on the face. I found the Godrej lather lasted long enough for 2 passes without drying out. The skincare properties are very good. Godrej combines lanolin with glycerin and these ingredients soften and moisturise the skin. My skin felt really soft and refreshed after the shave. I normally rinse off with cold water and this, combined with the menthol shave cream, gives a chilly wake up call in the morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, this is an excellent shave cream that has earned quite a reputation. The price point is slightly higher compared to other Indian / Pakistani shave creams, but keep in mind this product is rarely found outside of the Asian subcontinent. River Valley Trading have stock of <a href="http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/161803995/Godrej_Cool_Menthol_Shaving_Cream_78_g.html" target="_blank">Godrej Cool Menthol</a>, and <a href="http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/161804018/Godrej_Sensitive_Shaving_Cream_78_g.html" target="_blank">Godrej Sensitive</a> (love the scent!) .

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
This is a fairly common problem for most of us who use shave cream tubes (or any other tube product). The inner screw thread on the cap breaks off the lid and gets stuck to the tube. If you don't have any spare caps then the only option is to squeeze out the entire tube into another container. Remember, shaving cream left uncapped will dry out. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Here are two tips to help stop this: </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Always clean the screw thread of your tube before putting the lid back on. This stops the cap from becoming stuck to any shave cream that has dried around the top of the tube</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Rub some Vaseline (petroleum jelly) around the top of shave cream tubes before closing them. This stops the cap and the tube from becoming fixed together. </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></li>
</ul>

Vasmol shave cream is manufactured in India by the Hygenic Research Institute and they have been making cosmetics since the 1950's. The shave cream comes in 3 different varieties: Lemony Splash, Cool Mist, and Extra Lather. For this review I was using the Extra Lather. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cream comes in a standard plastic 125 gram tube with a twist off cap. The scent is fresh and clean. It reminds me of a mix between fabric softener and shampoo. Quite different from the Pakistani creams (Jolly, Samsol, Oxford). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now to get down to business - I used an almond size drop of cream and lathered it up in the palm of my hand using a Simpson's Duke brush. I was impressed. The lathering was quick and very easy. The scent also opens up a bit more as you work the brush. Add in a few more drops of water and the cream begins to shine (in every sense of the word). The lather becomes rich, tight and amazingly slick. The cream also lives up to it's name. There was plenty of lather. More than enough for my usual two and a half pass shave.</div>

I lathered up my whiskers, let the lather sit for a bit, and went about the job with a Weishi 9306g loaded with a Treet Platinum blade (this combination seems to be a match made in heaven). The shave was silky smooth thanks mostly to the super slickness of the lather. No nicks, cuts or irritation. Just a good clean shave with hardly any soap residue left on the face. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition the brilliant lathering qualities, this cream has excellent skin conditioning properties as well. You will notice your skin feeling very soft after shaving. Your brush will also feel soft and flufffy (as if it's just been given a shampoo treatment at a salon). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The more I use this cream, the more I like it, The scent, cushion, glide, and the baby soft skin feel afterwards make this an excellent shave cream. The lathering properties are amazing and a little will take you a very long way. Excellent for wet shaving beginners. Just bring a wet brush anywhere near this cream and you will get lather.
