Either tomorrow or the next day I will be shaving off my moustache and sideburns with Morning TOST. I believe it slick and protective enough to take off 2 months of growth with one swipe! Vid to follow.

I was finally able to get to the post office the other day, and several goodies were waiting for me!!! The Tost soap and the Jayaruh #270 brush. Today I lathered up the Tost and I can say that even after only one use, this soap gets high marks on the 4 most critical areas: lather, slickness, scent and post-shave feel. 1. Lather was quick and easy to whip up -- not too thirsty (actually not all that thirsty at all) and a small brush load made a lot face lather. 2. Slickness is probably the thing I value most in a soap, and this soap has more than enough to make me very happy! 3. The scent is perfect....strong enough to make the shave pleasant, with a nicely balanced fragrance. 4. Post-shave was also a really pleasant surprise. Some soaps can be drying, but this soap leaves my skin feeling nourished. Excellent work, @vintagelife -- you have produced a truly remarkable soap -- thank you!!!

Excellent shave. I love that brush. I am glad you got it. It is a truly excellent brush, and I love it too!!! It is my absolute favorite after just a couple of uses -- the handle is super comfortable, the knot and loft are perfect -- well done, and thank you for adopting this one out to me!!!

New Gem Lather Catcher Gem PTFE Jayaruh 351 MORNING TOST! B&M Saville Many thanks to @vintagelife for the soap, great job! As you can see I turned mine into a shave stick. Great lather and slickness, and I love the scent. I used the New Gem just because it makes a sound like scraping toast. Thanks to all concerned in making this happen.

What a shave! What a soap! Ok... Thats in just two words. Four actually... The scent is fantastic! At first it is too much ginger, but soon you recognize other elements. Just great! I have a little problem with lather, but it was my mistake. Slickness is great! My J2 was flying over my happy face! Postshave feel - wow! Allmost i don't need any AS!

SE Sunday's ShaveCold Water Rinse Morning TOST Jayaruh #356 Synthetic Kampfe/Star Lather Catcher Star Wedge/ Treet CS CWR Aqua Velva Musk My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Morning TOST Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #356 Synthetic brush. I did the first pass with the Kampfe/Star Lather Catcher razor with a Star Wedge blade and boy was that blade dull. I ended up putting a Treet CS blade in and finished with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

What you need for a easy shave? Just a nice little razor, like 1912 (Tnx Fuzzy), sharp carbon blade (Tnx Fuzzy) and great soap (Tnx Vintagelife and Jim). Morning TOST is trully great soap. I very much like the scent - nice combination of spicy ginger and freshnes of Lime and bergamont. In some moment i think i even smell a touch of cinnamon. I know there is no cinnamon but... Well balanced, not to strong, simple but not to simple. Slickness and post shave feel are one of the best! Vintagelife you really made a great soap! First time i used it, i have some minor problem with lathering, but with Synthetic there is no such problems.
