I appreciate your honesty and perspective on the versions of the soap. Sounds fantastic, if its anything like K2e it's already top tier stuff, experimentation with formula aside. 😀👍🏻

[@Latherhog]

I appreciate the kind words, thank you for watching!

[@danilobernaschina1842]

We trust you reviews, honest, direct and expertise, compliments

[@Latherhog]

Thank you for watching and for the feedback!

Having let my VIP membership lapse, I have a hard time keeping up with all of Peter's versions. Honestly, his K2 was about as good as it gets, and his budget friendly Pedro Fiasco is just about perfect.

[@PeterCharkalis]

Thank you so much Jon. I’m really glad you liked the scent. The camera has given It a fish eye type of effect. I think I prefer the other, nevertheless the content remains superb. Thanks again

I have Siam VR1 soap & splash and I love the scent. Does Chiang Mai has a similar scent?

[@PeterCharkalis]

@@OdiRithy Thank you! It’s actually quite different. Chiang Mai is quite unique (nothing like it). Beautiful line, lemongrass & ginger notes with a nice dose of a gorgeous coconut note

[@OdiRithy]

@@PeterCharkalis thank you for your reply, it is one of my future purchases.

[@LongIslandShaving]

Great review, just picked up my first soap from Ariana and Evans which I believe is the Ultima base

[@Latherhog]

Awesome, which scent did you go for?

[@theluxuryshavinghobbyist]

Hi Jon, That Cha Cha Matcha sounds amazing. Gonna pick it up. Thanks for the review. Best regards, Glenn

[@Latherhog]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@onepassben]

Love this one! So the splash I tested was noticeably different in scent and I mentioned this to Peter. He actually resent an updated splash that matches the soap much better so I'd chalk that one up to experimenting haha.

[@Latherhog]

Thanks for the head's up BLou!

[@brandonshaves]

Nice job, JonJon. Been looking at this soap set 👊🏼

[@Latherhog]

Thanks Brandon, have you tried any of the Ultima soaps?

[@brandonshaves]

@@Latherhog I have not but I have Matcha on the way!

[@pjwroblewski]

Nicely done.

[@Latherhog]

Thanks for watching Patrick!

[@vintage_head_shaver]

I’m not commenting on this video, because I wouldn’t think of doing such a thing. Vintage Green is a scent I absolutely LOVE! Also, the new lens makes it look like you’re in the worlds smallest bathroom 😂

[@Latherhog]

Thank you for NOT commenting Ken ;)

[@HDShaves]

I prefer the tighter camera shot like in your previous videos.

[@Latherhog]

Thanks HD, appreciate the feedback!

[@blade4vor905]

Looking good, Jon! The Ultima soap base has shorea butter in it. That's a new one to me and looks to be for moisturizer.
The new lens gives the impression that the further away, the more distorted/curved. Fisheye effect as Peter and a couple others have said.
Have a great trip with the family, Jon! (So, what's your travel shave setup? Or no shave until you return?)

[@Latherhog]

Appreciate the feedback Rob! I just posted a video short on what shave gear I brought with me to Hawaii :)

[@RaktajinoNX-74205]

You’ll probably not be able to get it in the US, but there is a fantastic Matcha shaving cream by Esbjerg, from their Zen Collection.
Agreed on the soap bases, they are all fantastic, i struggle to see someone being able to tell them apart in a blind test.

[@Latherhog]

Thank you for the recommendation!

[@thomasbeaton5467]

Great shave bud! I only have 1 tea scented soap and its fantastic. Macduff's cardamom chai. 👌

[@fhalden]

There is a hint of fisheye/door eyehole feeling with the new lens, but it's not bothersome.

[@Latherhog]

Thanks for the feedback, it's a tradeoff I knew about if I wanted to not appear so close to the camera.
