Hi Guy
I thought I would go through some of the soaps and other stuff in the Aussie pass around box.
I plan on using the same equipment
Zenith Manchurian Shave Brush 28mm very dense and my favourite brush
Hammered Copper Shave bowl
1930’s New Type Gillette Open Comb MIE razor
Astra Blade
The Derby Lavender shave cream has a rather pleasant scent in the tube.
The scent is noticeably stronger while lathering and nicer. 7/10
The slickness was reasonably ok not the best I have tried but does the job 6/10
I had about 4 days growth and my setup just plowed thought the lot no tugging or irritation. I did have one weeper but I get that if I don't shave for a bit so the during shave experience was 7/10
My after shave feel, my face is very soft and the scent lingers it is about an hour later and I can still smell it, plus my wife likes it so that an extra point. There is some stinging but no redness but that may be due to something unexpected (Nit treatment) on the initial face cloth I used to rinse off.... 8/10
Over all shave experience 7.5/10
Well worth trying.... if you can get your hands on it.
