Great choice of soap for this mornings shave 😎
It's the damn Omnibus what did you expect?
I like it, this one didn’t cure though, softer than a cream but works great and yes, the scent is really nice, it was what prompt me to get this set.
His speed producing soaps is unbelievable. Please, let it sit for 14 days unlidded in a dark place. Kronos 2.1 although is not rock hard , definitely it's not a cream and should not be used like that.

If anything is wrong, message him , he's a good, honest guy.

Oh... I made it myself a few years ago, after I bought the Hone 15 razor. I wanted to buy Hone's brush as well, but it was out of stock, so I made this one. It is kind of a copy of the Hone. That's why I called it H-15. Made out of brass. Media blasted, to have the same finish as the razor.

This batch went bad, I’ve bought in G&C and now they’re selling them as 5€. Matbe I’ll write him just to let him know but I’m good. Thank you.

This is not how it should work.
Yeah send him, but I believe it's unacceptable. This isn't professional. He should replace your set with another one. Do you want to message him for you?
