Mike's Natural Soaps Wild Honeysuckle
RazoRock Medico Della Peste

I really enjoyed using this soap.  I've been a fan of Mike's soaps for quite a while now, but this was my first shave with Wild Honeysuckle.  I think it smells wonderful!  It seems to open with a sweet floral scent followed by a green component that keeps it from being overly flowery.  This soap performed exactly the same as my other soaps from Mike's: GREAT!

It was actually fortunate that the soap performed as well as expected, because the blade in this razor is WAY overdue for retirement!  The shave was nowhere near as close as I would have expected this morning.  I don't keep track of the number of shaves on a blade.  I just use them as long as they  work for me or until I'm just ready for a change.  I would guess this blade has around 20 shaves on it, because I don't remember the last time I changed the blade in this razor.
