My top soap. Love the scent. Good performance too. Creamy ans slick.
2nd shave with this SE razor & blade. Was careful with the angle. Generally smooth. Abit tricky on the neck going atg. 1 weeper as a result which disappear after rinsing. Managed and enjoyed a 3+1pass. Result was a satisfactory DFS++. Post and aftershave was excellent... cavendish splash is heavenly.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Great shave today! First time in a long time I've used a legit shaving cream and not a soap or "croap". Surprisingly the cream in the tube was still in good shape, not dried out and not watery. Great face feel afterward also.

Hope you have a great day!

So the Oud Minérale is an interesting thing. Very creamy yet with semi soapy bits. Overall it was quite enjoyable. I want to not like the Ming Shi, as its a cheap clone, but I just can't. Set on 4, it is always an enjoyable shave. DFS today indeed.
