Was slightly cautious as I’d heard P&B was a difficult one to lather but after a light bloom as recommended by
@Slickster316 it was amazing and the zenith was overflowing with a thick lather that provides the most cushioned shave of the week! I wasn’t sure about the scent at first from the dry soap but it is a grower and something different in comparison to my usual citrus based favourites. It’s the salty north sea in a puck not for everyone I can see but it’s a keeper for me! Post shave feel was good as well, I will need to grab a few more and have a look at the scents they have available.
The long handle gave me a great shave but need more time with both before deciding which I prefer, great bbs smooth results today but can’t decide which handle I’ll stick with.
The splash is bracing and long lasting as well, I keep getting wafts throughout the day so far.
Have a great day everyone, the weekend is almost here!
