Sun 7th SOTD
Soap Van Yulay Puros La Habana...New Soap and WoW!
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow Synthetic
Razor Gillette British RFB
Blade Gillette London Bridge 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Clubman Whisky Wood
Ohhh wow! Special indeed this soap. Nice flower pattern of the soap surface. Initial smell....barely but some semblance to a cigar. Upon lathering...waaaaaa. I so happened to have a box of Cohiba cigars and the scent is quite similar but the soap the lather is stronger. Definitely unlike the sweet Cavendish nor Haverford. Really enjoyed the scent which was consistent. I would rate it at 5-5.5 out of 10 strength. Quality-wise...creamy but found slickness just ok.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good. Smooth and comfortable for 3passes for a mostly bbs to dfs result but somehow get 2 micro weepers. Enjoyable session. Rating 9.5/10

How is the scent on the soap? I have read this is a barbershoppy direction - which I dig
