LOL, Okay, you're right, but if you saw this in person, you'd want to pull out a spoon and dig in. It looks like some decadent dessert that smells of the finest vanilla ever. Yummmmm
Have multiple samples from generous DFS members. Concurred, it really is the singular best soap for scent and performance ever encountered (and by some way).

Even though I used Desert Vetiver yesterday, I thought it paired up best with the new acquistionI hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Encre Noir has some rough edges, but for an everyday vetiver, it's hard to beat.

Razor: Repeating Injector Type "C"
Blade: Schick
Brush: Trotter "Lake of Fire"/Timberwolf
Soap: GD Mallard Coconut Rum
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Rooster's Nest Bourbon Bay Rum
Fragrance: Ferrari Scuderia Black
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,398
I find the Type A the coolest and the Type C the sleekest head that gives me the best shave out of the 3 Repeater's. All require the head held differently than most razors against the face and hand position.
And for the Eeewww shot of lather removed.......you were warned. Have a great day !

Blueness shaving stick (made in Türkiye)
Picked up last week from a small store in Istanbul's busy streets near the Grand Bazaar.
To my surprise, Blueness smells nothing like Arko/Derby sticks. To my nose it is reminiscent of Valobra's soap base scent. Not rock hard like Arko but more pliable which makes it easy to press down in a bowl. Performance is excellent, dense slick thick lather. Ingredients? Don't have a list but I suspect it's not all natural organic bio. It will probably kill you if you shave with it every day for 100 years.
