Barely makes the grade [SEP] The scent is great.  Beyond that the soap is only acceptable.  It is very fickle with the amount of water needed to make a lather.  Too much and it disappears on your face in a matter of seconds.  Too little water and you can't even begin to make it lather.  I know that's the case with any shave soap but this one seems to be overly picky.  I will experiment further with different brushes and a bowl lather instead of face lather before I retire it for good.
