    I won this puck of Colgate Mug Shaving Soap from @wchnu . I am going to be using the CMS all this week to the end of OCtober, so, I thought I would give it a test lathering today. I used the brush I will be using next week, the JR#229 synthetic. I only bowl lather for the fun of it. I normally just face lather, but this lathered up pretty good. I don't know how old this soap is, but it has no scent at all, or my smeller isn't working. Anyhow, here it is.

    Today, I had my first shave with the CMS.

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Colgate Mug Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #229
    New Standard
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Colgate Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #229 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gillette New Standard Tuckaway razor and Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I thought I had written more about CMS somewhere, but I will repeat. The CMS, to me, has no scent at all. It may be that it is an old, old puck, but it lathers like crazy. As far as cushion and slickness, I really don't know how to evaluate those. I do know that I got no irritation, nicks, or cuts.

    Sorry you had to repeat. I just saw the first of your two duplicates this morning, after my quest for a review. And now this one.

    No problem, Paul. Thanks for the prod. I went back and put it in other posts. I really thought I had said more, but I guess not. I am glad that I was piffed this soap. It is very good, just no scent to me, not even a soap scent. It works very well with the Proraso Pre-Shave though.

    The man who PIFed me my Colgate Mug Soap shall remain nameless, although I do believe he knows who he is :).

    I’m glad you had good results.

    Others have too so the puck I had awhile back must have just been a dud.

    I tried to use it several times but it just wouldn’t produce a decent lather and it smelled awful.

    Maybe I’ll have to try another one someday.

    Hope you can find one with a fragrance.
