Lovely little soap. Exotic lilting fragrance
I am predominantly a cream in a bowl guy. I generally soak a boar professional brush in hot water for 5 minutes, jerk it firmly 3 times and dip the tip in the bowl of cream to uniformly coat the bristle tips and then lather directly on the face.
I purchased the Neroli and Mandarin refill puck and melted it into a suitable transparent glass jar. I placed pieces of soap in the jar and lowered the jar into a simmering pan of water such that only ½ the jar was immersed. Within 5 minutes the soap liquified and flowed to take the form of the jar. I lifted the jar out and let it rest for 5 minutes on the counter before transferring it into the refrigerator.
For loading my brush from soap I use the dry brush method. I placed 10 drops of water on the soap surface to make it bloom. I wet my beard thoroughly with hot water.I dip only the 1 inch tip of the brush in hot water. Jerk the brush thrice. Now I proceed to load the softened soap onto my brush.
Since I have avoided excess water on my brush, I do not lather up on the soap as seen on the images but just get some creamy soap onto my brush.
I then proceed to lather up straight on my face. Dip the brush tip in hot water and develop a nice shiny lather on the face.
I hate lather overflowing fron the shaving bowl and splashing all over the sink and the floor, and my wife strongly despises it too.
The transparent glass jar is to satisfy another belief that I have.
Most opaque soap jars develop a black mould at the bottom over a period of time. This is due to to the dampness and no exposure to UV rays of sunlight.

Highly recommended. This is a soft shaving cream in a jar
(Oudh & Sandalwood)
The consistency in just perfect to pick up just the right amount on the tips of the brush with a dip or slight swirl.
Remove excess water from the brush by squeezing or jerking thrice. Keep the brush just moist.
Pick up the cream as needed. You need a little less than what you think.
Directly lather on the face.
It rapidly explodes into a rich, fragrant creamy lather.
The rich fragrance fills the entire room and I had all the pretty women at home inquiring about the source.
The glide is superb. The lather lasts for 3 passes if needed although the lubrication survives after washing the lather off.
I prefer croaps over soaps or shaving cream in tubes.
I have used or am using various British shaving creams and this is right up there among them on all counts.
Highly recommended.

Pink Woolf Safety Razor - Open Comb (OC70) BLACK

Smooth shave
The razor provides a close shave. However given the open design, you can irritate your skin if you aren’t careful. I therefore use this when I am not in a rush in the morning. It give me the closest and smoothest shave i have ever had.

PinkWolf Shaving Cream in Oudh & Sandalwood: Smooth Shave, Subtle Scent
I totally agree with the saying "A good lather is half the shave" & this PinkWolf cream delivers! It whips up a rich, creamy lather that makes the razor glide effortlessly. Plus, the Oud & Sandalwood scent is nice and subtle, not overpowering like some aftershaves.
Overall, a great shaving experience for anyone who wants a smooth shave and a pleasant, low-key fragrance.

PinkWolf Synthetic Shaving Brush: Lathers Up Great
I totally agree with the saying, "A good lather is half the shave"! That's why I was excited to try this PinkWolf brush alongside my new OC70 razor.
First impressions: This brush looks and feels way more expensive than it is. The handle has a great texture for gripping even when wet, and the synthetic bristles are smooth and gentle on the face. Lathering up was a breeze, and the brush created a nice, thick lather that helped prep my beard for a close shave.
The only downside: 24mm knot size is good for travel and home use, but I would love to see PinkWolf offer a bigger option, maybe a 28mm knot, in the same awesome textured handle. More lather, more better, right?
Overall: A great brush at a reasonable price. Highly recommend it, especially if you're looking for a travel-friendly option. Just keep your fingers crossed for a bigger size in the future!
