Sampling WK Project "Leather"
Just finished an excellent 2-pass shave (with a few touch-ups) using the WK Project Leather. While the scent does nothing to remind me of leather, I found the indescribable bouquet freshly pleasing and certainly geared towards the fall/winter seasons. Reminds me how I am unable to describe the scent of Baume.be. :shrug:
Turns out I had forgotten David's point regarding this "croap" needing a bit of effort to lather with a floppy brush. My Thater 4125/3 got a bit of a workout in the GP 20oz scuttle. However, if I had a full puck of the WK to repeatedly load the brush, I don't think lathering would be an issue whatsoever.
In terms of performance, I found the lather cushiony and slick...and with repeated uses, I'm sure I would be able to produce a more ideal lather. Given the number of WK samples I've yet to try out, seems I have quite a few more shaves to get this aspect optimized. But, out of the gate, I have no complaints regarding shave performance.
Post-shave, my face feels properly pampered/conditioned, and this refreshing face feel is what I've come to expect from my "usual suspects" (Tabac, XPEC, CF Lime, and MWF) when topped off with any one of the handful of Geo. F. Trumper's skin food flavors I use. Can still appreciate the mysterious Project Leather aroma a full hour after shaving. I love a bit of staying power since I never use EdT.
Very pleased with my first experience using an American artisanal shave soap.
Now for the long 2-3 day wait until I am sufficiently shaggy to shave again. (some unexpected tongue twister there). :p
