Soap lather quality is just ok with enough slickness but not much of a scent. Some light aroma...not sure if it's peanut...
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good. Reasonably smooth for 3passes for a surprisingly good bbs to dfs results against 1 weeper. The challenging atg pass on the chin and lips area was crisp and smooth.
Today was the last shave on my puck of Williams. There was not quite enough left by itself, so I scrapped out the small bits that were left, put them in my scuttle along with some C.O. Bigelow cream for a superlather, and things were excellent. A wonderfully smooth SR shave today. BBS.

The pre-Shave set up. Consecutive straight razor shave #4.
Those raggedy old towels that aren't getting much love? Try cutting them to size, seam them up and clean up is a cinch.
Use a straight razor? Works great for swiping off your blade too.
