DFS Shave Soap is a collaboration with the Shaving Forum "Damn Fine Shave." At the owner Andrew's request, who wanted a classic Italian Colonia-type scent, I started developing the aroma blend from scratch. I ended up using Essential Oils of Bergamot, Sicilian Lemon, Mandarin, Sweet Orange, Verbena, Neroli, Lavender, Rosemary, Myrtle, Rose CO2, Patchouli, Vetiver, East Indian, Sandalwood and Ambrette Seed to create the scent, which is a nice clean easy to wear scent.
HHT-0 - shave: The hair can be shaved immediately at the holding point. This is strictly spoken not a true HHT, but it does tell us that the edge is capable of shaving. [all other attempts must be made at least half an inch from the holding point]
HHT-1 - violin : The hair doesn't cut, but it "plays violin" with the edge. This is due to the shingles catching the edge, but it's not sharp enough to penetrate. On a full hollow razor, a faint ringing sound can be heard. On all razors it can be felt with the fingertips that hold the hair.
HHT-2 - split: When it is dragged across the edge, the edge catches the hair and splits it lengthwise.
HHT-3 - catch&pop: When it is dragged across the edge a bit, the edge catches the hair and pops it. The severed part will jump away.
HHT-4 - pop: The hair is popped immediately when it touches the edge. It still jumps away.
HHT-5 - silent slicer: The hair falls silently as soon as it touches the edge.
