So I had this new soap to try. It was a gift from ExtraProtein and a favorite of his Grandfathers in another Country.(Can't tell you where so as not to blow his 007 cover and put my family in danger) It's made in the Country of Portugal and Googling it for info I found it's available thru WCS. It's a small low budget, thin wall plastic tub and has a nice bright and slightly floral scent to it. I'm not big on florals but this is VERY nice to me but I can't put my finger nose on what it smells like. As far as lather it was so easy to lather and get the soap where you want it. Very cushy and slick enough to get things done. Afterwards it left my face feeling refreshed and neither dry or oily............just invigorating. Doing some research shows this to be from a company that has soap with charcoal but that is NOT present in this iteration. The Shake Sharp gave me a shave for the ages with this soap and I can't stop faceturbating and feeling my face. I assume this fits the criteria here as even though you load an unmentonable blade it is a Single Edge Shaver. To make up for the thinner current production blades I as many do double stack 2 blades and no other modification is done. You close the top cap and slide to the side to lock it and are ready to go. One of my favorite vintage razors that gives a remarkable shave. I do not use the Shake Sharp feature to maintain the blade. Thanks again Rob for a soap that while not a luxury presentation, gives the results we are all looking for and then some. I'm impressed and this stays in the den. Have a great day Everyone !
That's a fine SE razor, I have one somewhere, but not used in a while. I will have to dig it out! That soap sounds interesting as well.
