???~~Simpson Milk Churn~~Feather AC~~Feather Super Professional~~Ogallala Special Reserve
I am using a new soap today. It arrived yesterday, and to be perfectly honest, when I opened the container, I was non-plussed with the scent. Indeed, I didn't care for the scent at all. Disclaimer: the package sat in the direct sun for probably 3-4 hours. Rather than bin it immediately, I chose to leave the lid off over night and see what it was in the morning. Much to my pleasant surprise, the offensive scent had completely disappeared. All that remained of this "unscented" soap, was a smooth, rich scent, reminiscent of freshly-churned butter. Quite appealing, I must say.
Taking my pre-soaked and lightly shaken out Milk Churn, I proceeded to load the non-bloomed puck and build the very wet lather directly on the puck.
Here are the results:

Definitely sloppy, but that was my intention, especially when I shave with a straight, or a shavette.
There was ample slickness and the Feather Super Professional, now in it's 7th shave, glided easily across my skin and deftly removed the 48 hour growth.
The lather was protective and despite being extra-wet, did not dissipate during the first pass.
I chose a two pass shave today, so I cleared the knot of the remaining soap and spread it over my face. It was nice and shiny and again, very slick.
Post-shave was good+. After I cleaned up my gear, my skin was slightly taut, not really dry, but not quite as supple as I prefer.
I intend on using this product for the next week and at the end, I will reveal the name and the manufacturer.
Have a great day!
