Otoko Organics is a very nice shaving “soap” indeed, and I love its light, refreshing fragrance. With a good lather, my Phoenix Artisan Ascension did a wonderful job — this really is an excellent razor, and I think in part its excellence is due to the extreme curvature the head puts on the blade — cf. the Dorco PL602 and the RazoRock Baby Smooth, both of which are also excellent and curve the blade to an extreme.
Three passes to perfect smoothness and then a splash of Floris JF. The day begins with a positive experience!
