Shave Result: The Solid Soap is firm but pliable so I sliced off 1.1gm piece and squashed it into my lathering bowl, then used my normal build method to produce medium density creamy lather. The lather gave excellent all round performance, a great economical soap that I rate a solid Tier 2 performer. The scent was a lovely masculine blend, with a dominant Patchouli aroma with a lemony background, scent strength 6/10. Overall a great clean shave with just one small nick.

hmm not the first time it's happened... I use shortcuts through my iphone to upload after putting them together. The imgur API is sometimes a bit wonky.

Post: Witch Hazel
This was before the mandatory sanitation followed by a very successful blade honing finishing on my Japanese hone.
The shave was fantastic. So smooth.
