- Lather: Wickham Soap Co. - 1912 - Parma Violet
- Blade: J. Bingham "Criterion" 11/16 wedge (Wm. IV era)
- Brush: custom oak handle 26mm synthetic - turningwright
- After: alum, Thayers rose witchhazel, Bulldog aftershave
- Scent: Grey Flannel
First time using a Wickham 1912 soap. It's rather different from other hard soaps I've used - it seems to literally burst into lather with a bit of water and slight brushing of the surface. But getting the lather exactly as a I wanted it (thicker & slipperier) was a little bit tricky - I imagine it's just a matter of using it more. Produced an overall excellent shave though.
The scent is good, though sweeter than I would have liked - but it's a "Parma Violet" scent, so I knew it would be sweet (Parma Violets are not dissimilar to CHoward's/C.Howard's violet mints). Still an excellent violet scent with a bit of spice (like Parma Violets, if my taste memory serves me right). I put an end to the sweetness after the shave with Grey Flannel's violet fougère.
As I said, I'll have to play about with the soap more to understand the lather better, but I would recommend this trying this soap simply because its lathering seems to me interestingly different from hard soaps in general.

Apparently De Pews weren't *very well* patented...... Originally Posted by outback

It needs a little more work. Hopefully, I'll have the time to try again this weekend. Originally Posted by sharptonn
