The shave is just what I hoped and expected. I used my Rudy Vey Ocean Mist brush with the Muhle 25mm silvertip fiber knot. The soap lathered up nicely, and I quickly had a thick lather that I thinned on my second pass. I loaded my brush in the container and then moved to my stainless bowl to finish the lathering. I used my Thiers Issard straight razor for the shave and found that the soap was very slick and the razor just glided across my whiskers. The residual slickness was really good and only in one little spot did I have to dab a little lather when touching up. I did that more out of caution as my face was drying out under the fan (it is hot and humid, here). I got a very fine shave (I choose to not use profanity) and BBS on my cheeks. I had no irritation, no nicks, and no weepers. The soap offered very good protection.
The after shave feel of my skin was very nice. It was not dry and not greasy, but was just right. My face was left feeling smooth and clean.
Price wise, this soap is not too expensive, as I mention in the previous review. I wish the price were half of what it is, but that is pie in the sky thinking. There are many artisan soaps that are far more expensive that don't do nearly as well. Overall, I liked this soap so much that I also ordered some Amber Rose. I can't wait till it gets here so I can try it.
