Result: I think this may have been my best shave ever! The Henckels performed flawlessly and the sea buckthorn soap produced mounds of rich creamy lather! I had used this soap quite a few times and was ready to give up on it, but finally figured it out. I normally don't post on the weekends, but this was truly exceptional!

Have a Great Weekend Gents!
Pre shave - Arko
Razor - Filarmonic SubCero #12
Strop - 3" Snake, Shell Cordovan & Genuine Linen Hanging Razor Strop
Brush - New Forest Tubby 1 Finest Silvertip
Soap - Mike's Unscented
A/S - Boots Witch Hazel gel followed by Tabac A/S lotion
OK, new soap...... just couldn't get the lather right!! Should have used the 'Duke', that is my goto brush for MWF/KENT. Had to salvage the shave by finishing off with the Merk + Astra... but the end result was still BBS with no irritation.... surprisingly, it turned out to be a fantastic shave. :) Need more time with Mike's soap, which left my skin feeling great...can't wait to get it right!!
