My undisputed number 1 shave soap! Super aromatic sweet pipe scent...good strength too. The lather was very creamy and slick too...awesome!
The shave with razor paired with the blade was very good. Previous initial use with this blade was not so good but this time it was crisply sharp, very smooth, and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish. Superb aftershaves especially with the matching Cavendish.

Razorock Zi’Peppino
Semogue 820
Parker 87R
Voskhod

Ok I have no idea what green tobacco leaf smells like but I will be shocked if it’s like this. This was like strong old-lady perfume to my nose. But thankfully it changes and mellows quite a bit when you lather it. It’ll be interesting to see if Zi’Peppino grows on me. It says “green tobacco” so I’m posting it here 😁

Really special scented soap. Cigarish/Tobaccoish scented and kinda sweet? The lather was creamy and good slickness...
Shave with razor paired with the blade was very good. Very smooth and comfortable for 3passes without issues for a mostly bbs finish. Awesome cooling from MitA and the AS balm truly lasted and was able to enjoy the aromatic Cigarish/Tobaccoish scent for many hours.

Nice cigarish scent from the soap but lather quality was just ok. Slick enough for the task.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good again...reasonably smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish. Aftershaves were awesome, interestingly the witch hazel bayrum scent absolutely overpowers the whiskey woods.

Love the looks of that brush!
 
Soap: RR Zi’Peppino (green tobacco)
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: Ladas SS
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Red Resin Silvertip

Wonderful performing soap but the scent is a bit too perfumy for me. Lathers great tho.

I really like the Ladas Super Stainless blades. Had a very nice shave with them in the Piccolo. They have worked great in all my razors actually.

Nice aromatic cigarish & maybe cognac scent? The lather was good enough.
Shave with the heavyweight razor paired with the blade was good using between setting 3 to 2 for 3passes without any issues for a dfs+ result. After 2 days of using the light-weight AC razors...this heavy razor shave was a surprise...
Aftershaves were awesome with the matching HetV balm prolonging the great aromatic scent!!!

Got the soap sample on a whim and man it was a great one!! Very nice aromatic tobacco pipe-ish scent although wishing it was stronger but it's ok. Lather quality is good too...creamy and slick. So glad to get this...thanks to fellow tobacco sotd members...
The shave with this aggressive razor (rarely used) paired with the blade was a good combo...reasonably smooth, comfortable, and surprisingly not much blade chatter going atg on the chin & lips areas. 3passes for a bbs to dfs result. Aftershaves were awesome...just love the HeV CCC lasting aroma!

Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Zenith B10
Soap: CTS Tobacco & Amber

My fourth shave with the Muhle R41. Very efficient and comfortable shave. Worked up a great buttery-smooth lather on my face with the Zenith and the Tobacco & Amber soap. Really makes for a nice shave. Love the scent it’s just very mild.

It has been a while since last time I've used this soap. Thx @Chard52142 for the recent review.
This soap has his own distinctive scent. Great cherry pipe. The lather is slick! Good stuff.
Ohhhh Yeah this a good pipe scent...not sweet at all...just very aromatic, love it!! Alas, I have just a small sample...so gotta be prudent...hahahaha. Thanks, @Smooth and Sharp for sharing this soap a while ago...
