How's this soap smell like to you, I don't have this in my den.
It is fantastic: basil and sage/lavender are the main notes. A very refreshing and unique scent that I love. I'll be grabbing a jar when I finish this puck.

I shaved earlier this week on a Hong-T finished on 0.5u pasted balsa (I will fork for some 0.25 and 0.1 paste eventually), and it was a standard shave. About the same as a blade finished on a Shapton 12k. The Ozuku edge on this razor is buttery smooth in comparison. I had to check the lather to see if it shaved any hair off because I didn't feel anything. Very comfortable shave, possibly smoother than than on the WCS razor previously. That being said, post shave, I did feel some stubble after 3 passes, and I wonder if that is the edge or my shaving technique (or both). I'm going to put some of my better straights on to the Ozuku to see if I get a similar (or better) shave.
