Shave Report: Saturnia soap base’s texture is soft croap and interestingly contains Olive Oil but it still produces a stable quality lather. From the lather I get a very pleasant herbal and mineral spa aroma, luckily no sulphur type smell, scent strength is about 7/10. Easy going smooth, clean DFS from the Classic Merkur and Suneko blade, I'm really enjoying these blades.

Pechika 55 13/16 Half Hollow - C&H Elm 2-Band Finest - NO Italian Summer - B&M Seville Splash - Sukin Moisturiser
Noble Otter Italian Summer, courtesy of @Gargravarr was a delight. Easy to lather, lovely slickness and a well blended fragrance of citrus and florals that made for a delightful summer monrning's shave.
