Jim’s the man!No, its not Nuavia... @halvor Shavedash Jim came through and sorted me out with 2 empty jars in the end
3P ~ Plisson Synthétique ~ Timor 6/8"
First shave using Italian 3P soft almond barbershop soap, I got it to compare with Vitos (the only other product of this type I've used.) I'm blown away by the performance, probably one of the finest quality lathers I've ever achieved and with little to no effort on my part... Thick, creamy & voluminous, extremely slick with loads of residual slickness, seemingly very good post shave as no aftershave required other than a splash of cold water. Oh, its also got the best almond scent I've smelt yet in a soap, certainly stronger than Vitos but not too strong or sickeningly sweet.
Surprised me as its a simple veg formula (no tallow) so perhaps tallow isn't the mystical all important ingredient its often cracked up to be?

Blade: Schcik Proline #1
Razor: General Polished SS (On Loan @Acer89 )
Brush: Bogwood & Resin Custom 26mm TGN High Mountain White (On Loan @Acer89 )
Soap: Martin De Candre
Post: Thayers Witch Hazel
EDT: Grey Flannel
Due to the outstanding generosity of @Acer89 I have just had a wonderful shave.
Thank you very much James, it is truly appreciated.
The polished General left me with a 4 pass BBS mirror finish.
Yes 4 passes because I could not resist and stop using this magnificent brush. Sublimely cloud soft tips with amazing flow through.
Painting my face was an absolute pleasure. There is a surprising amount of backbone. These TGN HMW are incredible.
The soap is amongst the best I have tried, a super thick creamy lather with great slickness and post shave feel.
Finished with the Witch Hazel and a generous helping of Grey Flannel. Great stuff.
Enjoy your shaves!
