I really like the soap. It is very very hard which makes the price a touch more acceptable. The soap has a very faint almond scent. I really can't smell it so I am going on Swati's comment. I have found it easy to load and lather. The lather is very slick with an excellent post shave feel. Having said all that, I am not sure it really adds anything to just going with Mitchell's Wool Fat.

One puck of MWF = $15.00
One Puck of ABC = $75.00
Having both in my rotation, it is my considerable opinion, that MWF packs a LOT more much for the money than does ABC. YMMV.

I paid $45 for the ABC soap but the math still works as you outlined.

I am currently completely convinced that K2e is best lather out there. IMHO.
I have used many others and don’t get me wrong there are some killer soaps out there a lot of which I haven’t used yet, but this is what I consider the current gold standard.
This soap deserves the GOAT razor, and the 1959 Schick did not disappoint.
Also this Alpha Shaving brush has the G4 knot as the new Club brush offering has as well.
There is a very good reason this is considered the knot of kings.
Super soft and fantastic latherer.
Excellent shave

Super nice, creamy, and slick lather from the soap! Nice scent but hmmm..abit on the mild side.
A nice pleasurable shave with this razor. I am really enjoying the thin hollow edge nowadays. Smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a dfs/ccs result. The matching aftershave was nice but a bit mild.

A little bit of shaving cream mixed with your soap can make a real rich lather. I read about this years ago in Leisureguy's Guide to Gourmet Shaving the Double-Edge Way by Michael Ham. A very good book for the novice and beyond.

Have a great day everyone

The cream was about $75 a jar. The hard soap was just released recently and is about $45. The MdC is the better soap for sure.
