Finally figured out this soap! Need to use a drier brush. Synthetics seem to work best on this one for me. Great smooth shave today. Have a great day y’all!

Comments: Used the Windsor shave stick for the first time (woke up a bit earlier to do this), scent is floral and smells like Jasmine. The soap is slick but not as cushioning as Arko, used a little too much water for it. Performance is Arko hands down without any doubt the winner but Windsor is much better for scent. For me if I had to choose as much as I dislike the scent of Arko, I'd use that over the Windsor. Even a loose lather on the arko is better than the Windsor as the Windsor just can't take the water being a vegetable soap. Scent is good. I'd only pack this for travelling on the cheap... wouldn't buy it again though. I'll use it a couple more times before fully confirming my opinion on it.

An OK shave. :letterk1:

I wasn't really in a shaving mood this evening, but just did it anyway. The shave itself was perfectly fine but (unaccustomed as I am) I wasn't in the "shaving nirvana" zone. Hopefully I'll be back to normal (or is it abnormal?) next shave.


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:
