Very nice quality from the soap. Pleasant scent and excellent creamy and slick lather...so good!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good. Smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a bbs/dfs result. Aftershaves were excellent.

Sat 26 Gillette Weekend SOTD
Soap Van Yulay Puros La Habana
Brush Yaqi 26mm Moka Express
Razor Gillette Fatboy F4 @Set-9
Blade Treet Platinum 2nd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + RR Puros
Very aromatic direct cigarish scent from the soap! No sweetness at all... lather performance acceptable...
Shave with this excellent adjustable vintage razor @set 9 paired with this blade which I thought not so good turns out to be enjoyable, smooth, and comfortable in 3passes for a mostly bbs finish but with a micro weeper. It's always interesting how blades behave in different razors or conditions. Aftershaves were very nice.

Just a few days ago saw a collection of King C Gillette razor, brush, soap and shaving cream in the local shop. Looked like a new production with very Chinese production quality. Have they bought the Gillette trade mark?
