This razor is a vintage restored by Brad Maggard, so please dear djudicial colleague, check that Maggard hardware sponsor point box.
For the challenge, the most reverse lathering technique I could come up with is using the soap puck as a shave stick, and it worked remarkably well.
This Haslinger is the reformulated vegan version from a few years back, and potassium cocoate is the third ingredient (after potassium stearate, and sodium stearate), and I always get adequate lather from it. The sage scent (German: Salbei) is very light, but pleasant. I paired it with the relevant post Speick splash and frag Boat Drinks for the two things I associate with the soap: herbs (speick plant in thia case) and coconut base (main note in the frag).
