Good gracious, what a shave. The joys of three grams of soap for your lather cannot be overstated. Cream aplenty, enough to measure the cushion with a yardstick. I took three passes without a nick, and my cheeks are now smoother than the tip of my nose.
This Black Watch base is softer than Spearhead's original, soft enough to be mistaken for cream. Scooping is far more preferable to loading it with a brush. And the scent is reminiscent of plum nag champa, a true delight for a cool and rainy morning. Very satisfying.

Oh wow! I've never heard of this maker. How is the lather and scent? What intrigues me the most is "pine tar shave soap"
Being pine tar the scent is pretty strong off the puck, like an 8/10. Once lathered up the scent is a bit more subdued at 4/10. This soap looks to be like a croap, but it's the most firm croap I've come across. It's perfect for loading from the tin although I scraped up some to bowl lather. Lather builds really quick and the lather consistency is closer to MdC or SV than rich, yogurt-like lather you'd get from GD or ETHOS.
I saw Kaliflower Organics mentioned by a member on another site so I thought, Why Not. They only have two soaps so I picked up both. They offer a new customer discount for free shipping so I got both soaps for $32, shipped from Sweden. It only took a week to get it which included a couple of days for processing.
