perspective?

I am terrible at describing scents, it loads very easily, one load gave enough for 3 1/2 passes with plenty left over to put on my face while clean up.
3 day shave, BBS and skin feels great, one of the best soaps I have ever used.  Will definitely buy more when it is available at venders.

I'm honored SgtCrppls!

One of the key traits I want Optimus to have is the ability to lather exceptionally fast. You barely need to add water to the jar or soap for the brush to pick up product. The soap is intentionally soft—there’s no need for it to be hard. Harder soaps require more agitation to build lather. But once you introduce water to the brush afterwards, you can keep adding more, building a super dense, viscous lather.

On the road and stuffed a Palmolive stick in my bag! This was just the ticket! Great scent and fantastic performance. Wish I had a picture for you.  I also wish this stuff was still made.
