I did manage to try a few new soaps during the first half of 2020.  (I have not purchased any soap since June, although I have been tempted by a few of the enablers here.).   Choosing the top five out of the eleven that I tried was not easily.  Also, there are a few samples I have obtained during the past year that I have not used. 
Stirling Satsuma has received SWMBO’s approval.  Additionally, I know how much Joe, 
@Trigger, loves this soap and scent.  Naturally, I had a wonder three pass shave with a voluminous lather.

Prior to showering and shaving, I buzzed my hair, which I do every three days.  However, I decided to take in one step further, after the facial shave.  I used the remaining lather and the straight razor to clean up the area in the  back of the neck.
Overall this was a downright awesome shave.
Have a great day gentlemen.  Now it is time for some football.
