    Incredible shave. I think I finally cracked the code on this soap. I used to think it was garbage - difficult to lather, bubbly and no protection no matter how much soap I loaded, but now I know how to do it. Start with a barely damp brush - really dry relatively - and load a bunch of soap. It’ll be super dry looking proto-lather, different than anything else I own. If you start with that really dry stuff, then the resulting lather is much more dense and offers a good shave. This scent is great which makes it worth fiddling around with.

    These V12 blades are super smooth. They’re worth trying. I also recommend trying Zorrik.
