Excellent, excellent shave. A couple days with the same soap base really helps figure them out better. I lathered up a wetter than usual brush, maybe a little on the heavier side than normal and the lather just formed wonderfully. The slickness is up there with one of the best for me. My skin feels very smooth - this base just works so well for me.
This soap scent is based on Le Male by JPG. Scent wise, the soap smells very much like the dry down of the AS. I get quite a bit of vanilla for the most part off the tub. For the AS, the same can be said but the brighter notes also stand out a little bit better than the soap. I don't mind the scent - I shaved before going out in 30C weather and it worked fine. The little whiffs I got of citrus/mint were complementary for the weather.
So I'm happy with this set. The scent is not my favourite but the artwork here drew me in to get a set. It's excellent work, a safe scent and the base by Summer Break soaps is absolutely incredible.
