Prep ~ Shower, Valbora Glicerlanolina soap
Razor ~ Hone Type 15
Blade ~ KAI
Soap ~ Abbate Y La Mantia - Krokos
Brush ~ Cadman - Bell silvertip
Post ~ Thayers Rose Petal / Taylor's of Old Bond St Alcohol free AS
Scent ~ Saffron Aoud EDP by D'Arabie

A really good close and comfortable shave, the Kai blade and the Hone 15 are perfect for eachother, the blade has changed how this razor behaves for the better!
The Krokos soap with its rich yellow Saffron colour is a lovely soap and offers perfect protection and slide.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.....:) P.

Thank you J for your reply.
It seems this soap has divided the group of people who have used it but that's no real surprise, all soap along with most other thing's are to be seen as YMMV and this is no exception.
Have a great weekend . P.

I have the rose, and found it tricky to lather at first. For this and other soaps, I find this the best way to get a excellent lather. Cover the soap with warm water and leave for a minute. Do not drain. Let your brush soak up the water and swirl it around the soap container and you will soon load your brush ready to face lather. The scent seems to get better as time goes on.

Thank's for the tip but I've never had problems lathering any soap's especially LPL, I have never have found the need to bloom the soap with water, just show it a damp brush and lather up.
I understand everyone has different methods of lathering soap and you should do what you think is necessary.
