Item Description
Price: It's pretty hard to beat $6 for a 3oz. cake.
Quality: Tastefullyl wrapped soap rounds with a classy embossed gold sticker to hold it all together. Obviously homemade, but very much upscale, Colleen's obviously put a lot of thought into this product. In fact, there's a massive thread over at SRP where she's been painstakingly welcoming and even soliciting very public criticism in order to perfect her products to this point. Absolutely top-notch.
Scent: Incredible. I don't claim to know anything about patchouli at all. In fact, that's exactly why I wanted to try this soap. I refuse to put it away, since simply leaving it on an extra soap dish gives me a beautiful whiff of fragrance every time I wash my hands. This soap's fragrance is extraordinary and the scent is a powerful one (without any irritation to my normally sensitive skin), and the scent carries over into the lather extremely well.
Lather: Somewhat difficult, but when you get it right the lather is incredibly rich and loves water. It is, however, quite possible to get a horrid lather if you're not paying attention.
Efficacy: Excellent. Not quite as slick as QED, but it's an extremely rich, protective soap lather.
Moisturizing: Solid, although not stunning. You'll need an a/s, but nothing heavy.
