QED’s soapmaker long-since retired, and it was a great loss since s/he had no acolyte to carry on the soaps. This vetiver is one of the few remaining QED soaps I have, and the lather it produced was, like the lather from Mama Bear soaps, of the first rank. The Maggard 22mm synthetic shown deserves of course credit as well, and with a well lathered face, the shave itself, especially with a slant like the X3 shown, was a delight. I love that handle. I was thinking at first it was a UFO handle, but I now believe it is the RazoRock barber pole handle, with the base part a larger diameter than the main handle.
Three quick passes, a perfect result, and a splash of Guerlain’s Vetiver EDT as the aftershave. A great way to start the day and the month.
