The scent remains the same, but EVERYTHING else is better. Considering that the original Proraso Red Shaving Soap was my favorite, this one has blown me away completely.

If you want a more comprehensive answer yungleen, @Marco would be the man to ask.

Thank you for the nice words, Sir. My hat if off.

Is that a bronze handle on your brush? It's great looking.

Copper. It's a very very nice brush.

Copper Handle XXL Manchurian Two Band 28mm Brush by Zenith. Made in Sicily. M15

In this last order, I requested some brushes made from the copper handle before they were chromed. Unfortunately, I only got 3 brushes. This has a solid copper handle with a 28+mm knot. The loft is set at 51mm with an effective loft of 42-45. Total weight is around 110 grams. Total height is...

Brush: Omega Pro 48 Boar
Soap: A&E Grecian Hourse
Razor: Gillette Slim (6-4-4)
Blade: NOS Gillette Bleue Extra (1)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; APR Coeur De Vert A/S splash
Scent: Aramis Havana

Posted this shave in the wrong thread, so re-posting where it should have gone in the first place.

A new soap arrival - A&E Grecian Horse. The soap performed admirably, and the scent is superb. To me, it has deep, rich notes of vanilla and cocoa on an exotic woods base. I am not normally into gourmand scents, but this really is something else.
Dialed the Slim up to 6 WTG, then back to 4 for XTG and ATG passes. The very sharp Annecy blade made short work of my 3 day growth for a BBS result.
The pungent fougère notes of Coeur De Vert and the exotic evening vibe of Aramis Havana proved fine matches for the soap scent.
