Got the GFT Almond out for a shave today with my new Vie-Long Silvertip Badger Olivewood Shaving Brush. Like all the other GFT SC that I have used it lathered up nicely in the bowl and performed as it should. The scent is a bit more subtle than some of the others like violet or coconut oil. This is not a negative. Merely an observation. YMMV.
