I can't tell you what its like since April 9th will be my first time using it. I would suggest a nice AoS soap of your choice or any other soap you would enjoy using for the next 3 or 4 months.
The combination of my Semogue boars - SOC and 1305 - have really done a number on the Cella since I started.
I might do this with my QED Patchouli, Tree Tea, Peppermint
The smell I don't really like but its bearable
I wonder how long it'd take me to push through it
I don't got a soap eating brush either just a basic pure badger parker.
Date starting. April 5/12

I will shave with my O&C puck again tomorrow and then it will be garaged for a couple of weeks during the next edition of our Brush Chronicles. Good luck to the team for the 9th April kick-off. I will swing by when time permits to check on the state of play.
David, how is the C&S performing? Can you draw some comparisons to other soaps.
Hi Tony,
I posted this:
a couple of days ago and still very much stand by it. I believe that this soap is made by the same people who make AOS soaps (Valobra?), so I guess that they should be comparable from a performance point-of-view. D R Harris and Tabac are a couple of my favourite soaps and O&C is also now in that league.
Hope this helps!
Sorry Nick. Whilst you are ordering, I believe that the black anodised aluminium dish for the "88" soap is gorgeous as well......
An impressive collection of soaps!
Might as well get the matching cologne too.
Nice work, that man!
An old B&B wisdom: Life's too short to shave with bad soap.

Game on! Tomorrow starts a never-been-used puck of La Toja Mananatiales and The Rover. I'm also going with the 23c while I'm at it, for the duration.
LaToja Mananatiales, Somerset Rover, and Gramps straight. Spanish, English, and Swedish !!
La Toja Manantiales, Rover LE and a Fatboy. This is going to be good.

I took some pics of the unused puck in its original wooden bowl and then moved the puck into a Seaforth mug (perfect fit) so as not to ruin the wooden bowl and cork lid. I'll post them tomorrow. I might add an unused bottle of Speick aftershave into the mix. One soap, one brush, one razor, one brand of blade (Red IPs) and now one aftershave. This is unprecedented! Wait. Isn't this what the rest of the world does everyday? 
Thats a good idea Mr. Gold. I'll move mine to a Seaforth as well... and for the next 30 days straights only, and Boosters.
I don't have a Seaforth mug, and my OS mugs seem small. I'll move it to the work bowl of my unused Moss Scuttle. I'm also sticking with Caldey Island Lavender splash for my AS until it runs out.
I will be using the following:
Thater brush | Muhle R101 (toothcomb) w/Feathers | Truefitt & Hill - Grafton (~160 grams) | Italian Floid Amber
I may run out of blades within six weeks, and I will likely buy a different brand.
