Van Der Hagen's new Luxury soap is NOT like their regular versions! Even though it is glycerin based, it also has shea butter, mango butter, and cocoa butter, which definately adds to its slickness. I shaved with no additional additives to my lather, and it performed as if I had.
It quickly builds into a VERY slick, protective lather. It's scent is lightly masculine, with a hint of cucumber. Very nice and refreshing. My Merkur 1904 with Derby Extra blade, danced over my face quite smoothly. If you think this soap is like their older versions, you'll be pleasantly surprised... I know I was.
