Lenthéric has not made their shaving soap for decades, but the tub I picked up on eBay has retained its fragrance—and makes a great lather, today with the Vie-Long horsehair brush shown. I really like this soap a lot.
And to match it, I used a really excellent razor, the Dorco PL602. Although that razor allows a bit of adjustment—tighten it fully, then back off just a fraction of a turn to increase aggressiveness—I find that it works perfectly for me fully tightened.
Three passes to a perfect result, and then a splash of Creed Aventus, a great fragrance The Wife brought from Paris for me. And it’s nice that we both like this fragrance.
