Item Description
This is a milled palm based vegetable soap. I can't say if it's triple milled or not. It seems a little softer than some triple milled pucks I've tried. This puck is a little smaller than the typical 100g or so puck, it's only 65g. Compared to the prices some companies charge for their triple milled soaps, it's still a fair deal, though not as excellent a value as some other soaps.
The green, kinda mossy scent is very nice, and you can smell it right off the soap puck before you even lather it up. Once lathered, it's very creamy and slick and doesn't feel drying on your face. This soap does appear to take just a little less water than some other milled soaps. If you add to much water, you'll end up with an airy, bubbly foam. When lathered properly, I found it provided more than adequate cushion for the blade, and I didn't get any razor burn, irritation, or unusual dryness after the shave. This might be a good one for sensitive skin types to try.
One thing I do not like about this soap is the travel container. I like plastic screw top containers but this one isn't snug enough to fit the soap for lathering. The puck spins around when you try to load the brush with it. I found it works slightly better but not optimal if you hold the container at an almost 90 degree angle. In the end, I just wound up holding the puck in my hand and loading it that way. You could always grate or mill your puck into the travel container I suppose.
Overall, recommended.
I believe Rasage Poulin is stocking this now at a very competitive price, so no need overpay (like I did) or order from the UK if you are in the North America.
