I don't have the theme soap. I thought I had a Zingari Man sample, but I don't. I do have their brush cleaner soap. I considered this for a bit as in a past Atlas Shave someone used Dawn Powerwash Pumpkin Spice. Then I remembered that I'm already a loser and another airbud won't hurt. :)

  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather - Soap
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum

I took this razor back to the 10k because yesterday it felt pretty rough/dull. Much better today. I'm going to use it a bit more before sending it to the owner. They are new to straight razor shaving so I want to make sure if it feels bad it's their fault, not mine!
