ECWS The Shave Mercantile Pass Around
Boar Month - Shave #22
This is my first shave with any of the Shave Mercantile products. Regarding first impressions, this soap did not disappoint this user. The scent proceeded to live up to its name. It reminded me of a hot summer day when a cold drink of limeade would quench you thirst.
The Jayaruh 329 boar brush did it’s job whipping up a thick, yogurt like lather. A small almond size scoop of soap easily produced a magnificent amount of lather; enough for 4-5 passes.
The shave itself, another three pass, with the Gem Feather produced a near BBS result. The only area that is always a challenge for me to attain a BBS is the jaw-hinge location. The soap has a very nice glissade, allowing the blade to easily pass through the shaving area without any irritation. The alum confirmed this observation by being noticeably silent upon application. Overall, this shave was Super Duper!
