How does the mutton tallow soap feel different to bovine tallow soap?
Tonight's Shave:
Pre: Valobra Glicerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017
Soap: Stirling Scots Pine Sheep soap
Razor: Merkur Futur (2)
Blade: Vintage Wilkinson Sword Super Sword (4)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion
EDC: DR Harris Mayfair
First run with the Merkur Futur and Stirling Scots Pine Sheep Soap. Both performed very well indeed. The mutton lather was very luxurious, making for a comfortable shave and lovely post-shave feel. The scent is definitely Pine/forest, but not as robust as stablemates Coniferous and Ozark Mountain.
The Futur was really good first time out - three easy passes and pretty close to BBS. Blade feel was more noticeable than the AS-D2 (as expected) , but no irritation or weepers. The smooth grip took a bit of getting used to, but no issues. I really liked the heft of this razor -.just find the angle and let the blade do its job via the weight of the razor.

Fuss free shave with the SE1 & Proline combo,the Duke churned up the SV soap into a nice lather ending with that good post shave feel I've come to expect from this soap.
All the best for the day ahead
@Blademonkey - it seemed slightly slicker during the shave (fantastic glide), but I didn't get a good a residual slickness as my best bovine tallow soaps; but then again, it was my first use, so still dialing it in. Very impressive for a first use.How does the mutton tallow soap feel different to bovine tallow soap?
