Thanks and well done, Nishy. Used mine this morning and like it a whole lot!
I need a few minutes pre-shave and yours worked very well indeed. Nice smell, went on smoothly. Then had doubts when I found it is water soluble but got in front of the shaving mirror and my beard was still soft and moist. Best shave I ever had from an 89 - in the form of a Muhle Jet head on Gecko's Nemesis handle - and used a Sharpedge to jazz the Jet up a little. Close and smooth, skin felt good.
It didn't interfere with the lather though I noticed the razor swill-off lather stuck together rather than spreading across the water surface. Washed away no problem when I was done, no residue left behind.
For my money, you can play with the fragrance all you like but the base balm is absolutely great as it is. I'd buy a bottle if you bring it to BST market.
Many thanks for the sample and the basis of a great shave!
