New scent and artisan for me. I've heard good things about the scents from this guy. I didn't have any trouble lathering this soap, but I did load the entire Smush. It was an ample amount of soap, but I can't imagine using only half of the smush like some people! With hard water to boot!
Similarly to that other BVWSC member, I cut myself during this shave. I haven't used this razor in years, and now I remember why. It's all blade. I don't blame the soap for my cut because it was obviously my mistake. I also got some weepers. I just don't get along with aggressive razors, no matter how little pressure I use, etc. A DE blade just needs something to calm it down for me.
Nice unique scent! It reminds me a bit of Chiseled Face Vert Noir, but this one is better. Very Noir smells like fish food, and this one is more refined than that. Both are green in color.
