Never heard of that shave soap, but, I'm going shopping! Rive Gauche was one of the greatest men's fragrances of all time. I use Fine American Blend aftershave, but, it pales in comparison.

Pre: Noxzema Classic Shave & Stirling Unscented Pre-Shave Bar
Razor: Merkur Progress @ 2.5
Blade: Personna Comfort Coated (1)
Soap: RR Dead Sea
Brush: RR 24mm BC Silvertip Plissoft
Bowl: Timeless
Post-Shave: RR Dead Sea Splash
Smooth and efficient throwback shave with the Progress, 9.5/10. Somewhere in the 3-4 range is where the magic is for me. The 2.5 shave was great, but not quite as close as I was shooting for.

This shaving stick is relatively new and being pretty soft it's unique, too.
The scent is neither strong nor long lasting, but it's definitely there and I do love it!

Razor: Rex Envoy XL
Blade: Wilkinson Sword Germany, 1st use
Brush: Wald A1
Bowl: Cayuen Dark Nebula Bowl
Preshave: Hot Shower & L’Occitane Verbena Shower Gel Soap
Soap: HC&C Ticket to Ride
Aftershave: HC&C Ticket to Ride
Balm: Stirling Unscented
Additional Care: Proraso Blue Preshave
Additional Care: Thayers Witch Hazel (Unscented)
I’m impressed with the Rex Envoy. It really has nailed the sweet spot of blade feel, which is high enough to feel efficient, and indeed be efficient, while not causing excessive irritation. The HC&C made a luscious lather and Ticket to Ride (based on YSL Y) smells great. BBS.
Wishing you a great weekend.
