3 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.
 

The top citrus notes off of White Buffalo remind me of Stirling's Piacenza, which I love. But this scent morphs into a warmer, more layered fragrance as it ages. This is only the second 345 Soap I've tried and I'm impressed. I like that they are doing their own scents (or appear to be), and I think the soap base is great. Thanks to u/whosgotthepudding for this smush. We traded; a smush of my 345 Undercut for a smush of his 345 White Buffalo. I'm pretty sure 345 Soaps is 2 for 2 with both of us.

I note that there are a lot of Lather Games test comments today. I believe I have the correct format (if it hasn't changed from last year), but I do wonder if I'm satisfying u/djundjila's bots by specifying a (straight) razor that doesn't have a (replaceable) blade.
