Based on one shave with Manna Sicily, I put SV in the top tier of soaps. Will see how the Dolomiti does this morning. Yeah, I do the pics before the shave. Is that allowed?Quote:

The scent.
First, I do not have a very sensitive nose. If MdC has a lavender scent I do not detect such.
Dolomiti Soap and AS:
Not much scent. Very mild and faint.
Manna Sicily Soap: Mild and faint. Smells like makeup my wife uses.

Comments: OMG, I just got my first FULL straight shave and didn't use my Wolfman in the picture for the cleanup pass! I did WTG, XTG and then a mix of ATG/XTG for a cleanup and it worked great! On the first pass I got a nice nick right below/on the the edge of the bottom lip and I could tell as soon as I set the razor down there, I was cut and it made me mad! I finished the first pass stopping every couple of seconds to wipe the blood off and once the first pass was done, I rinse and used the steptic pencil on it to closed it up. I then continued to finished the shave with another full pass and a cleanup type pass, which worked fine! No irritation today and although I did NOT get a BBS, I did get real close and a DFS for sure! . No issues with the Soap Commander as it lathers easy and gave me very good protection throughout the shave. All in all, it was a very, very good shave today but could have been better (no nick)!
Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!
Thx.
