Well, I didn’t have time to touch up the straight I used Monday, so I grabbed a razor I have only used once before. Soap Commander sample use two. One of the issues I have with samples a lot of times is that I don’t load enough, and end up with a watery soup for a lather. This time I loaded the brush about 3 times longer than I would with a full tub of soap. Slowly added water as I worked it in the bowl. Got enough thick and smooth lather to shave, wash my car, and shave the dog. Performance of this soap is top notch. I am not getting any scent from it at all, other than the superfats. Could just be a very old sample. Have to say, I love this razor. Three passes and a solid DFS. My face, jaw, and chin are BBS, but my neck has a few spots. Since there was no scent on the soap, I grabbed my Holy Black aftershave. Great scent, and an outstanding post shave feel. Don’t have any meetings today, so the heavy scent doesn’t matter. This one has actual whiskey in it, so I have to be careful using it.
