Good morning friends, after a weeks vacation I'm glad to be back! Last night I had my second shave with the Merkur 15c / 7 O'C SS combo. I must say I really really like this blade. It is very sharp and smooth. It works well in the mild 15C but I bet in a more aggressive razor it would be even better. La Toja as always made a very nice super slick lather and the fact that it stays warm in my scuttle is even better. A great finish to a relaxing week+ off. Have a great day my friends!

I just ordered this soap on Friday, can you tell me your thoughts with this shave soap?

The scent is captivating. Seriously, it is one of only 2 soaps thus far that has had me coming back to shove my face in the tub and inhale the fragrance. Absolutely spectacular. Easily my favorite tobacco scent, and tobacco scents are at the top of my list already. This one reigns supreme, for me.  Starts off very reminiscent of Country CLub La Habana, which has long been my favorite tobacco scent. La Habana is a very bright and crisp tobaccos scent. This one has that same initial leaf tobacco, but is supported with a much darker and deeper musk from the amber. Truly a fantastic scent, in my opinion.

As for performance...it's no secret that I find Crowne & Crane soap to be top tier performers. This soap, in either formulation, sits right next to my B&M Lath, L&L Grooming, and Stirling. Those 3 brands take top shelf, front row in my den, and C&C has quickly moved in to sit front and center. Excellent performance all around. Easy to load, easy to lather, excellent slickness, and VERY resilient to water.  God stuff!

Thanks for the feedback, sounds like wonderful stuff and I'm still trying to find a tobacco scent that truly draws my attention. Just got an email from USPS and looks like my order shipped out right after I ordered Friday and being delivered today.

The Tobacco Leaf & Amber smells awesome. Going to use in tomorrow's shave. Also got Cognac & Cubans and in the tub smells exactly like Ginger Gardens Havana Cognac, will try on Thursday to see if aroma develops beyond what I smell in the jar.
