This soap is my best barbershop scent and the lather is nicely creamy and very slick too...top quality & great price!
Shave with razor paired with the well-used blade is another nice smooth comfortable efficient 3passes for a mostly bbs finish. Aftershaves were awesome!

Pre:-
Razor: Schick L1
Blade: Chinese Schick
Brush: Omega Boar
Cream: Vitos Tabacco
Post: TFS Witch Hazel, Proraso green
Result: DFS+

My boar is turning soft, maybe even too soft. I'm not sure I will like it without any scrub. The cream and the bowl are not a good match. Too much of the snurdle sticks to the bottom, doesn't disolve and is a pain to get out afterwards. My Turkish copper bowl works better with it. The shave itself was nice and easy and I'm looking forward to test a Schick Proline (just received) against the Chinese one next time.

Funny, that giant tube of Vito's. I have one hiding somewhere around here, but cannot remember where. Been several years; I wonder how well it has aged.

It’s a non tallow base so at least it won’t get rancid easily but you might encounter some separation. Kneading the tube an putting it into the fridge can solve this.

I pifed 6 15ml samples, so close to 1/5 of the Tube and use the rest nearly exclusively every 48 hours for head shaving.

Took out the Big Boy today, the Kent. This is a soft brush that is one of the few soft brushes I like. Did a good job together with the Karve. We are in the midst of a hot spell out here. Stay cool.

Razor: Razorock 2nd Gen Stainless steel Lupo.72-Mfg 2021, excellent mid range, easy to manipulate the face, excellent quality & design, a joy to use IMO.
Blade: Gillette Wilkinson sword saloon (3) sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity. Good bang for the $.
Soap: Razorock Irish country side, mild scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow 26 mm brown whiskers, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great scrub + great lather painter.
Great value and a joy to use, always liked rainbows.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of Clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock XXX with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS, BBs + no irritation + no weepers = :a17: excellent shave with my RR Lupo .72 with a Wilkinson sword blade.
