Hi mate, sorry for the delay in replying, I didn't see your message until now. I'm not good at describing soap performance, please forgive me in advance. I think it's a good soap that moisturizes very well. I lather it directly on my face and add three or four drops of water directly to the brush, continuing until I get a mayonnaise-like lather relatively quickly, and the razor glides very smoothly. It's a really good post; I'd say aftershave is almost unnecessary in my case. However, the scent is where this soap falls short. For me, the scent isn't great, not unpleasant, but it's not appealing either. I hope this description is helpful. Best regards.
I hope my English is reasonably understandable

Thought that I had a smooth and comfortable shave with an Old Cart Razor, then I had another Twin blade experience with the Type O Clone.Got the lather spot on which no doubt helped a lot.Must check how many Twin blades I have left, am fairly frugal with them, nice to know that they can be brought in UK at a fair price.
