Item Description
I purchased this soap from a member and think its great stuff - lathers easily and provides a comfortable smooth shave. The soap is well made of quality ingredients.
This is a 25% shea butter French soap and my sense is that the shea butter does make a difference (this is consistent with other review of shea butter soaps). The soap provides more of a cushion than the glycerine soaps I use and in that sense is somewhere between a soap and a cream. The other benefit of the shea butter is that it moisturizes, and my experience is that this makes for a smooth shave.
The soap is softer than a tripple milled soap, but harder than glycerine-based soaps, so should last reasonably long, even with regular use.
The smell is a pleasant is a slightly sweet soapy smell - nothing to write home about, but certainly not offensive and will not interfere with whatever A/S or EDT you want to use.
At about $12 - $14 for a standard-sized puck, its right in the middle of the price/value continum.
This would likely be a good soap for people who have sensitive/dry skin or those who want a shaving soap that has a mild scent.
