Item Description
I puck of this soap was given to me as a PIF from a kind member here and has been my daily shaving soap since.
My impressions are:
Price
Ridiculously expensive! No matter how good a soap is $ 26 for a refill is way too much. If I hadn't recieved this soap as a PIF I probably never would have tried it
Quality
Top-drawer
Lather
This soap is rumored to be teal-based, though it doesn't say anywhere. It lathers like a teal based soap anyway; thick, slick, foamy, lasting lather. The only better lathering soap I have tried is the Mitchell's Wool Fat - and from reviews I gather that the AOS soap is less vulnerable to hard water than the MWF
Efficacy
The puck seems to last forever. And as stated above; the lather is excellent
Moisturizing
Excellent, though not quite as good as MWF (I would have given the AOS 9.5 in this category if given the possability)
If you do not like scented soaps or are allergic to perfume (or, like me, has a partner that is), then the AOS unscented is a top-choice - if you don't mind the ridiculous price. The price is the only reason that I, most likely, never will buy this soap again. A shame though, because it truly is really good.
Regards.
