A melt and pour which is very slick unlike other melt and pours on the market and heavy on the scents. I went with 3 Bay Rums; regular, BR with Lime and Bay Rum with Ginger with BR with Ginger being my favorite of the bunch and now down to less than five shaves at best with the regular Bay Rum.
Repeating with RegimentSoaps(Reveille)/Clubman Special reserve tomorrow(Saturday), with different brush: brush-Stoylin Pro-Handle Synth(26 mm).
