Item Description
First, I have to say I am not the world's best lather builder with soap. I do pretty good when presented with excellent quality soap, but otherwise my results vary.
This is a great smelling soap. I bought because of the 100% natural ingredients and because of the spicy smell. It has a strong, clean scent that left my whole bathroom smelling like it with it just sitting in there for 10 hours.
Price
$8. Can't beat that.
Quality
Based on the ingredients this is great quality stuff.
Scent
Out of this world good smelling, spicy scent. Clean but not soapy with more then a hint of the sassafras.
Later
This is where it failed. The lather was loose and not slick. I tried several times and ended up getting the best results with my stiff boar hair brush. I could get a good lather going, but it didn't have any staying power and was soon loose and thin. Never got shiny and lacked cushion on the razor. This is not unusual for all the natural products I have tried -- I find they just don't lather as well. But, it was adequate if you kept stirring. Other better lather builders would probably do much better then me.
Efficacy
What makes a pleasurable shave for me is scent and the ability to let me shave close. For scent it gets all points, but it didn't provide a great shave due to the lack of solid lather. I think it would add a lot of scent to a soap / creme combo and I expect it will come into it's own in that role.
Moisturizing
Here's where natural soaps reign and this is no exception. It left my face very well moisturized along with leaving behind some of that wonderful scent.
I'm very interested in results from others.
Check them out. Lots of great soaps.
