Thanks for the compliment. The T&H soap was originally a birthday gift. It doesn't contain tallow. It probably has more of a cologne scent than pure sandalwood and is very clean and fresh. The slickness isn't at the level of OSP, but performs well and gave a very pleasant shave. I only use synthetic brushes, which I'm very comfortable with.

This format is more of a challenge than the AC one, which I find a lot more forgiving. I enjoyed the Shave but perhaps needed to work a bit harder around one side of my neck which was not up to scratch.
