Cape 1372 13/16 Half Hollow - Zenith Manchurian - Lodrino Aroma de Liguria Soap & Splash - Sukin Moisturiser

The @Lodrino soap is superb! A soft citrus and basil opening with either lily or jasmine, delightfullly fresh boquet. Performance is wonderful. The splash is also more like a lotion, excellent skin feel. Fantastic shave all round!
