Hello all! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Like the Mondial 1908 "Bergamot Neroli", I've been looking forward to using this soap for a couple of weeks now! Had to transfer it into a larger container before first use though. I ordered the 50g size to try since the full-size jars aren't cheap. It arrived in a tiny, narrow jar which, while perfect for holding this particular amount of soap, was too narrow to load from directly. Here you see it compared to a standard sized TOBS tub.



If I used a bowl / scuttle to build my lather then the size wouldn't be an issue. Just scoop out a little and have at it. But I face lather and prefer to load the brush directly from the soap / cream. So I transferred the contents into a spare, empty jar I got from Stirling. Not the best looking setup, but it makes loading / lathering much easier. This stuff was worth the wait! Great scent and lather built with the new Wild West Brushworks "Lagoon" ST. Thick, slick and very cushioning. Two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with a splash of ETHOS Grooming Essentials "Nuage De Citron" skin food splash and a several sprays of Prada "Luna Rossa" EdT.

Hope you have a great day.
