• Brush: Maggard Razors 24mm Synthetic
• Razor: Joseph Rogers & Sons Near Wedge (3)
• Lather: La Maison du Savon de Marseille - Aloe Vera & Donkey Milk - Soap
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - The Night Before - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm
• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille - EdP

I got this soap at a shop in Europe. The scent is quite nice, but the lather does not pass muster. Fortunately it does offer slickness, so it's 100% useable – but the lather dissipates very quickly. For the final pass I added a bunch of water just to see what happens, and I think it actually helped keep the lather visible for longer.

Overall a pretty decent shave! This razor is feeling good.
