Superb start to the week, absolutely a joy to use this brush, feels great and is a beauty to look at. The soap is amongst my favourites, a lovely spicy scent and performance is top notch, especially considering it is a glycerine soap which on the whole aren't the best soaps to use. Quite enjoying this Blue Diamond Platinum blade, though it's Titanium sibling just shades it in my opinion. ​

I love the scent of this soap but the performance in the past was awful, so I grated and pressed it in the hope of saving it from shower duty.
Sadly my efforts were in vain, there was a slight improvement (could've imagined it), but the lather was still dissipating and the first pass was a race against time.
Second pass I rinsed out the brush, and lathered up with the Lea Stick and the difference was night and day, rich, slick, protective lather.
Ah well, it'll make nice shower soap.
Happy Shaving one and all.
