I have been using some good soaps lately and so had all but forgotten an old friend. In a lonely mug nearby was a puck of Van Der Hagen cheapo? soap mixed/melted with about a half teaspoon of glycerin a long time back.
Today it struck my interest and with a loaded brush I whipped up a great fine lather on my face.
It was one of the better shaves I've had in a while. It shall be visited more often in the future!
