Hello Cadre! Hope you're having a great weekend.

An Italian themed shave today and to say I was impressed with my choice of soap today would be an understatement. This soap absolutely blew me away! I had heard of P.160 but had never tried it in its old incarnation. Bought a tub or RazoRock's version when I ordered the Mamba razor head. Nice scent with a classic almond / marzipan aroma, but the quality of the lather was the star here! Thick, slick and provided a great post-shave face feel. For eight bucks, you can't beat it! Two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with some Proraso ASB and a spray of Maison Margiela "At The Barbers".

Hope you have a great day. :)

The lather from this soap was creamy and very slick...
1st use of this newly received razor with a tailor-made scale...I am impressed. It's very comfortable in the hand and easily maneuverable. The jnat edge is surprisingly smooth and crisp...awesome! 3passes for a bbs-dfs finish!

Thanks for the good post. I've been enjoying P.160 for a few years. I think it's a very good soap too.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Back to @Dragonsbeard and his Island Collection for today's shave. Love his "Bay Rum" soap. It's become one of my favorites! Thick, slick lather that provides a great base and post-shave face feel. Two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with the "Tortola" (hope he ends up making a soap with this scent) skin food splash and a spray of Sean John "Unforgivable" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
