Honestly I may be too much of a noob to be reviewing anything given the extremely shallow depth of my experience, however I got this soap and I was really impressed. First it lathered up nice and very fast, no sting going on my face. The scent is awesome to me, but it might be a bit over the top or just wrong for others. What really impressed me with this was the shave I got. Very smooth, slippery, and really let me enjoy my shave. I had to stop myself from doing a 4th pass for fear or ruining the experience with irritation and blood.
