    I just opened it, sniffed, and did a few test lathers. It seems to be a quite good soap. People weren't kidding about the plastic being thin. I cracked the lid putting it back on. Lol.

    I can definitely see this being a soap that I will purchase again. Scent-wise, I get a very light lavender with undertones of lemon verbena and a faint trace of citronella. I find it quite pleasant, and different than the powdery lavender of MWF, or the raw in-your-face lavender of English lavender soaps and shave creams.

    I shaved with this last night, as I wanted to see what a 3x concentrated shaving cream would do with a Kent V6. Lathered beautifully, scent very much subdued when lathered on the face. First impressions are it's a fairly average shaving cream. It held up okay under a straight razor shave, but I'll switch to a different type of razor for future shaves until I think I have it dialed in. This is exactly the type of soap/cream silvertip excels with.
