Surrey Deluxe shaving soap

neither the amber or white versions of this are as good as the pink version (deluxe). i like all three far better than williams, etc. but get the deluxe.

This is a good soap. It is a glycerine soap so is sort of a like a "hard" cream, almost. My puck has started dissolving faster, though, so I think longevity will not be as great as a triple milled soap, or a harder soap like Williams. However, it provides a very good shaving experienc. It has little scent, which to me is neutral, not bad, not good- it just smells like fats and oils to my nose, with maybe a hint of a "soap" fragrance. Lubrication is very good and it does a good job of keeping your skin reasonably soft even with multiple passes. It isn't as easy to lather as some other soaps but it mostly depends on your technique- a boar brush is not the brush to use with this soap, I use a synthetic and it is fine.

Overal this is a great, inexpensive soap.

I guess I got a bad bar. This was the worst soap I've ever used. Please don't tell me Col Conk is similar. I have high hopes for the Amber. This, is not worth the effort to use.
