Took out the B&B Boar to get into the nooks and crannies of the remainder of this soap. I made a nice lather and had a wonderful shave. Time to think about what soap or cream is next. Have a great day.

“The Empire Strikes Back”
My second shave with this Empire razor and I am loving it to death. It is just soooo….perfect. Smooth effortless shave. These wedge blades seem to remove everything in their path with the gentleness of a lamb. Effortless control over the mustache and chin area. I’ll put this wedge blade up against any DE blade on the market. I think that solid steel wedge shape provides zero flex so is smooth and totally efficient at the same time.
My first usage of this Squadron “Empire” soap. It seemed to be a perfect match for the Wilkinson in more than name only. Very smooth, slick and didn’t bog down the razor at any time. I haven’t read the scent profile, but I’m picking up a lot of rose.
