So after much delay thanks to the USPS, I finally received my order from MLS. I got the shave soap, the AS splash, and the balm.I have no self control so I always order the matching set when it's offered. I also never order samples because I like the surprise hahaha.
This is my first MLS order and I'm very pleased with it. First shave I used my Feather AC SS folder, Semogue 620. I'll skip all the adjectives but I love the scent and I had a fantastic irritation free shave. The scent is not what I was expecting, it smells very much like Coast bar soap, it even looks like it with White and Blue swirls. Well done.
The AS splash seems to have a ever so slightly different scent profile but nice alcohol content, great stuff.
The balm is the stand apart item for me. It comes in a jar instead of a squeeze bottle like many of my favorites (Stirling, PAA great balms). The texture is kind of whipped and fluffy sort of like Proraso post shave but even fluffier. In this case a little goes a loooooong way. I put on what I thought would be the right amount and it was wayyyy too much. Great stuff though, this is the type of balm that will keep you hydrated all day. I think I'm going to pick a few others from MLS...
