This soap offers California King cushion. No nicks. No cuts. No welts. No pain. A shave with these old Valobra pucks is just heavenly. And it smells pretty good too. A light simple lavender with just a touch of mint.

I read both this and your last post about Oxford & Cambridge with interest.  May I please ask how you loaded the brush and built the lather?

Mike, this is an old tallow-based puck of Oxford & Cambridge made by Valobra. I loaded a damp brush by swirling it 100 times over the puck. Then I built the lather on my palm, adding water until I had a thick cream. It came together with no effort at all. The slickness was good, but the cushion was splendid. I scraped it all off with the Alpha Spirit razor you recommended (yeah, I bought it after all!). One pass, with the grain, was enough to leave me clean for ten hours.

Thanks very much Bouki, and congrats on your Alpha Spirit!  It’s nice to hear that it worked well for you.
