provide for a pleasant shave with no aroma . use it in conjunction with a inexpensive black plastic shave brush holder and plastic travel case for my Gillette Mach 3 razor . Have have 20 shave so far and it appear that the soap will last for month . suggest you take you shave brush and spread it against the sink while the water be run so that the entire shave brush be wet when lather . also , I purchase a wooden soap holder which be superior to a `` cold '' metal holder or plastic holder . best part be that I have a handy ledge build under my mirror to hold all my shaving and other necessity . now , the shave item be handy and the sink surface be best use for other item . I have use a inexpensive shave soap prior to the Geo F. Trumper sandalwood shave soap but now I have find the right brand . the sandalwood shave soap be a major part in make shave a pleasant experience each day . I be sell on the soap .
