Okay, Okay...I know I am late with some reviews. Hopefully the next couple of days I will get some of these in for you and then get the box moving again!
This morning I shaved with the soap labeled Martin de Candre Unscented. I typically don't go for unscented soap because I like my smells. But I have been wondering what all the hub-bub is about...bub. I went ahead and pulled out a small amount out of the tub and then pressed it into a bowl. The soap itself is really soft...I mean...it's just a tad thicker than marshmallow fluff. You can easily scoop a bit out with a spoon. I face lather so I loaded with my Omega Pro 49 (boar hair) after I had soaked it while I was showering. Not only did it load easy...but it lathered easy also. In fact, this was one of the best lathering soaps I have used. Shaving with it was a joy. Nice and slick...good protection...great cushion. The lather was nice and stable throughout the shave with little to no degradation. The soap feels great on my face and post shave feel is very good. Is this the best soap I have shaved with? No...but it definitely is near the top. I splashed on some Bootlegger's Bay Rum AS and all is right with the world today!
The third pic is the lather I built on my face...don't mind the three day stubble poking through. The last pic was what was on my brush after I loaded. Have a great day!
