This is an interesting French razor. I like the handle but I'm not totally sure about it overall. It's in excellent condition though. The soap on the other hand I have no issues saying weather or not I like it. I really like it l. It has a mild scent but it's wonderful and the scent lasts. I can still smell it now and then and it's been over 8 hrs since I shaved. The lather was really dense and performed quite well too. Not real airy like foam or whipped cream but not quite Greek yogurt in consistency either.

I have both the Ishtar Soap and Aftershave - the aftershave really kicks the scent up to another level.

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Bethlehem Olive Wood Silvertip
Unmentionable Razor
Unmentionable Blade
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Citrus Musk After Shave
The Williams Mug Shave Soap lathered well with the Bethlehem Olive Wood Silvertip Badger. Two passes and touch ups with an Unmentionable Razor and an Unmentionable Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickenson's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Citrus Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Wednesday Morning Walkabout
Sixth use of the Kai blade and it has really smoothed out. I like this Yaqi handle on the ATT head.
It gives the razor a better balance point. Overall a superb shave.
