Item Description
Got this have stick along with the aftershave, I don't know why it took me so long to get round to reviewing it. I don't know if it's the same soap as in the bowl, so I've started a new review for it.
The price is alright, the cheaper end of what you'd epect for a "posh" product. The quality of the soap is good too- although it behaves rather differently to most. It is quite soft and "slimy" when wet, and this coupled with the hugeness of the stick means that you get a lot on your face very quickly. This is all good because it helps you get a nice rich lather. It took me a few tries to get it just right, I wasn't sure if I liked it at first. The lather it forms is very wet despite the amount of soap in it, and has excellent lubricating properties. It is also very dense, with no large "frothy" bubbles. It does not dry out on your face, nor does it dry the skin- I find it quite moisturising. I don't think it will break any records for how long it lasts, as you sue so much each time, but you get a generous amount of it in the stick.
The scent is a perfect match for the aftershave, sweet, a hint floral, with oakmoss and just a hint of Sandalwood. It is quite generously scented- a lovely smell to have under your nose first thing in the morning, as it is not overpowering, but strong enough that you can smell it throughout the shave.
The plastic tube makes it a great idea for a travel bag, although it is quite a chunky stick compared to others such as the Boots stick.
Good soap, I'd recommend it strongly to anyone who likes the aftershave.
