    Mystery Soap "3"~~Rubberset 400/3~~1958 D3 Adjustable/Sharp Star
    I have been asked to "test" shave soaps in the past, this latest request is a soap simply known as "3".
    IMG_9205.jpeg
    My devoted followers may well recall this soap, as it was twice used before being interrupted by
    the infamous "4" Sheep Soap test of 2021. Sheep Soap failed.
    I will do anything for a great lather, up to and including a long "bloom".

    Puck secured to the bottom of my Aesop SS lathering bowl, I rode my Rubberset as I imagine Captain Ahab
    rode the great white whale. This was about the best I could get:

    [​IMG] A bit airy...
    Even working it on the skin, lather never developed a cohesion.

    The level of protection this lather afforded the second-shave Sharp Star was just mediocre, not even average.
    :prrr:

    With all of the great soaps in my shave den, it doesn't take too many shaves to reach a favorable,
    or...unfavorable opinion.
    I saved the day with my almost 50 year old antique:
