Item Description
I didn't see a review here for the soap version so I thought I'd put in my two cents.
Price: A refill costs under 10 dollars canadian. Considering how long soaps
last in general, I can't see how I could rate it under a "10".
Quality: Nicely packaged. Neatly embossed with it's logo on the cake.
Scent: This is where this soap shines. It has one of the nicest
scents I've come across so far. It smells very natural. Kind of
like a cross between a faint rose and a green plant. Hard to
explain, but very fresh, very natural. I was a little concerned
when I first opened the box as the smell was very strong. Once I
started lathering with it though my reservations were gone.
Lather: No in between here. Either its very soapy (too much water), or
very thick. Hard to get a "cream" out of it. The good news is either
way, it's still very lubricating.
Efficacy and Moisturizing: Another of it's strengths. I was a proraso guy,
and still managed to get a moderate amount of
razorburn on a fairly regular basis. After I
recieved this I was shocked to see no razorburn
at all after my first shave with it. I've had
virtually no razorburn since. It's very slick and
very lubricating. It's also very moisturizing.
All in all I'm very impressed. I've had a lot of BBS shaves using this, my merkur hd and derby blades. My skin no longer hurts to touch post shave, my shaves last longer (no more 5 o'clock shadow), and I absolutely love the scent of this stuff.
