Ohhh wow! Special indeed this soap. Nice flower pattern of the soap surface. Initial smell....barely but some semblance to a cigar. Upon lathering...waaaaaa. I so happened to have a box of Cohiba cigars and the scent is quite similar but the soap the lather is stronger. Definitely unlike the sweet Cavendish nor Haverford. Really enjoyed the scent which was consistent. I would rate it at 5-5.5 out of 10 strength. Quality-wise...creamy but found slickness just ok.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good. Smooth and comfortable for 3passes for a mostly bbs to dfs result but somehow get 2 micro weepers. Enjoyable session. Rating 9.5/10

A splendid King Gillette weekend. Shaves don’t get any better than this.

1938 Brit Aristocrat, Kent BLK 8, Gillette Black, smooth fluffy Tabac.

Discovered a little bit of Omega Alum stick on the fingers makes the Gen 1 razor a little easier to grip.
