Following on from these excellent reviews from Chris, I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring.
I used TGS Lemon and Mint for the first time on Friday.
I used a ExS Medium Jock Synth and a Rockwell 6S with an R3 plate and an Astra blade which was on its fourth outing.
Using a bowl I added the usual 3 or 4 drops of water and then a 10 second swirl of my brush which had been squeezed so it was just damp.
This produced (what I thought) was a good useable lather but almost immediately the lather had dried considerably. It was certainly “useable†but I decided to add another 5 drops of water from my fingertips and start again.
This worked excellently and produced a great lather but I wouldn't say it was the easiest to work up.
The scent is great, it reminded me of Lemon Hooch which we drink when we were 15 .
Two passes of the neck and cheeks were ample for me (I have a beard).
A quick rub of the Alum block produced very little stinging, I have a really sensitive right side of my neck so this was pleasing.
Balm and the matching ASL was added.
One thing I will say about the scent is that it's very subtle. It's nice but not what I'd call strong.
I didn't get the mint coming through, but on that note I don't get the menthol hit from Floïds Mentally Vigorous either so that could be a problem with my beaker!!
Im going to use it again later this morning and if there's anything different to add then I'll post here.

I always feel sorry for the poor man trapped in Andy Murrrays bag. Hope he's not still there.
