Don’t see myself picking this one up. Too smokey for my liking.

The small 50g MDC container in the photo is now empty. It is too narrow to load the brush effectively. So for the first few times I would scrape some soap into a lathering bowl: the result wasn't bad but I always felt this soap could provide much better lather. I've scooped out the soap with a small spoon (fairly easy to do, the soap is not nearly as hard as a triple milled soap like MWF) and smooshed it into a larger empty container. Now that I can load the brush directly from the puck, the difference is night and day: a nice creamy lather with amazing slickness.

Soap: Noble Otter - Two Kings
Razor: RR SS Hawk V3
Blade: Feather Pro Super
Post-shave: Shower, homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+

I've been neglecting this razor lately, a bit unfairly as it shaves really well with the Super. Maybe I'll love it more if I find it a nicer handle... :unsure: I'm expecting this soap to be finished by the end of the week.

2 pass WTG + touchups daily shave = DFS+.
These Stirling sample soaps I do not consider as samples, rather they are Travel Sized Soaps. Such a pleasure to use good artisan soaps when away. No issues lathering up from the little container with a 24mm brush.
 
Brush: TF Customs Brushes Blue & Gold 30mm Tuxedo P&C Charity Auction 2019
Razor: Smart Helix Apollo H 0.85mm // 0.50mm plate/s
Blade: Kai (5) // Gillette Rubie Platinum (2)
Pre: Shower
Soap: B&M Lime, Lavender, Cedarwood
Post: Alum Block // B&M Lime, Lavender, Cedarwood A/S Splash // The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30 ml
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS+

Enjoying the shaves with this setup but found the Kai blade too harsh so opted for the smoother Rubie and a much more enjoyable shave. The soap performs well and the scent is nice once you get used to it but I would prefer to try something different from B&M...

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

What's the scent like Muppet? as I don't have this one in my Stirling soap collection, I read mix feedback reviews good and bad.
