I had it too wet when I took a pic of the lather, but the soap gave a good cushion and was reasonably slick. Didn't like the leather scent as much as I hoped, so I'll try the Sandalwood next.

Razor Yaqi Mellon DOC
Blade SuperMax Blue Diamond 2

The indomitable Arko scent! Great lather from a simple thin layer on the face. Work the brush and results in a thick and slick lather. More than enough for 4pass!! Shave with razor and blade was nice and smooth. Despite that, 2 weepers :wink2: !!
3pass + buffing. ATG, XTG/ATG & ATG. Ice water rinse followed by special Thayers Cucumber mix.
BBS results but rating for the day 9/10
