It now shaves pretty fair, but not perfect. Dominica Bay Rum with Lime.

Yesterday I finally dug out my box with shaving soaps in it. About 125 different sorts, so the first one I picked out is what I regard as the best performing soap, ever! P.160 Tipo Morbido. Thick creamy lather just like you were using a 3Ts cream. Used with the TI damascus, an E3 Super, and Mr Taylor's Cologne.

I have a couple of kg of this stuff, and the same of the Tipo Duro.

Another good performer, AOS Lavender, which pairs nicely with Milk of Flowers.
