Item Description
Here goes y'all:
Price= While I may not be fully qualified to rate this part (it came free with my bowl from classicshaving
), I would say that to pay 6 bucks for this soap is a pretty good deal. I've shaved with it everyday for the past 8-9 days and I've yet to make a decent dent in it. I'd think it would last 2+ months of daily shaving.
Quality= Good quality in my opinion, fairly large soap. Nothing amazing, but good.
Scent= The soap have a very delightful smell. However, as Joel pointed out in his review of the sandalwood, the scent is definitely not "strong". You must get fairly close to smell it and it becomes very faint after you lather it up. Not a "cologne" soap, but if you like a faint hint of scent, it'll please you.
Lather= The lather was very decent. Again, not overpowering as many other soaps I have seen in this review section, but not bad. Its a very light layer of lather once applied, and it works.
Efficacy= It does a better job than I would have thought by simply looking at the lather on your face. It's slick and smooth, I've yet to get any irritation from this soap. Shave is not as close as I would have liked though
Moisturizing= It was a 6 in my book. For me, a 6 in moisturizing is that it neither dried me out nor moisturized me. It allowed for a good shave and that's what I expected. My skin felt as it would have if I had just come out of the shower and not shaved. So, a 6
Here are some pics:
-Just about 10 seconds of swirling-
-After about 1 minute of lather-making-
-Brush loaded, ready to go-
-Lather on my face, take note to its light layer-
