I soaked the Vie-Long horsehair brush and once again had the perfect amount of water for a wonderful lather from Tallow + Steel’s Dark shave soap, which has the fragrance of coffee, cocoa, ginger, vetiver, peppermint, and benzoin. It’s an unusual and very fine fragrance and the soap itself is excellent.
Three passes of the RazoRock Mamba left my face perfectly smooth, ready for a good splash of Dark aftershave (which it got).
