What soap/cream did you use today?

Cade v. (L'Occitane en Provence) bergamot, sandalwood, pepper, cade

I've abused this soap. It's the oldest puck in my cupboard, and over the last five years it's been grated, steamed, chopped, and frozen, all in an effort to make it fit snug into a variety of containers. Today I added insult to injury by pummeling it with a rolling pin in order to soften it up for a new wooden bowl. After treatment like this, it's no wonder that the original scent has mostly flown. All I get now is the soft sweet smell of cold cream. To make my shave more interesting, I spritzed the cake with some of Le Labo's Iris 39 perfume. That perked things up considerably and put me in a springtime mood. Again I used a drenched boar brush, and again I got mounds of slick lather, though it wasn't until the third pass that enough water had drained away to give me the thickish consistency I prefer.

This is a new soap and new maker for me. Th maker is Murphy and McNeil and the soap is Ouroboros. Soap consistence is a cream. Not as loose as TOBS but close. I've got a long way to go before having this one dialed in so a review will have to wait. Scent is wonderful and if you like Nag Champa you will like this. Scent strength is a fairly stout 7/10. Lather will have to wait until several shaves are finished and I know what I'm working with. Let's just say it'll be low structure when I get it dialed in. Slickness was very good. Post shave was the best I've experienced.

Lipripper660: I've been curious about this brand, too. Thanks very much for taking the time to explore it. I'm a little disappointed to hear that it's so soft, but the thought of having another nag champa specimen sounds tempting, and I'm always attracted by a great finish.

Today's razor looks fantastic. I'm not up on vintage blades. Is that a Gillette New? Awesome handle, whatever it is. Thanks again.
