Very mild?

I don't think it's as mild as others have reported. It certainly isn't A & E strength, I'd say a medium. The scent for me is similar to Bvlgari Wood essence which it's based on

The SV brushes are polar opposite to Simpson CH2 Manchurians. Backbone is low, so a lot of splay and the hair is super soft. Will never be a substitute for my chubbies, but a pleasant alternative from time to time.

Very mild?

I’d say if A&E is about an 8 out of 10 I’d put this at a 5, which I’ve found with all her soaps I’ve tried so far.

I have 2 and find them perfectly balanced knot wise, backbone isn't high on my list of priorities.

Really pleased to see them. I thought they had been caught up in the current Chinese crisis.

@Nico I've been curious about that razor for a while. I was just unwilling to take the plunge at full retail price, hahaha. Hope you are willing to post a review at some point.
