This is a sample I got from one of my razor aquisitions. The scent was rather faint, possibly from bad storage on my part. However, it smells a bit like the goth cousin of Le Grand Chypre – clearly the same family, but a darker version. The base is pretty soft, but it lathers very easily, and gives ample protective and slick lather. Noice!

Great shave. Great soap. Great razor. One thing I wonder about this razor is how long the threads will last. The threads on a Tech, for example, seem to be made of a more durable material (probably brass). These threads feel sort of rough and unpleasant, making me think they're zamak. Other than that, I prefer this razor to a tech.

This tub is almost done for. It may take some slightly heavy loading but it will be gone tomorrow so I will have stuck to my one in one out practice to make room for the Saponificio Varesino. Then I can get back to rotating through the few other soaps I have around as well.

Oh yeah... you can definitely kill that tomorrow. Spread it out as thin as you can and like you said -- load it like you hate it.

Another vote for Fanzine.
My first time shaving with this soap since I got it and I very much enjoyed the scent. It pairs nicely with Heather.
P.S. Rittenhouse is a very nice scent.
