What are these Soaps like compared to Arko, Cella and Tabac? Should i fork out and give them a shot or should i just keep lathering up my current soaps?
Edwin Jagger Soaps.

Harder to lather
They are solid, so you need to load up a lot longer than usual
The scents are divine though, and they per for pretty well

EJ Sandalwood soap is one of my favorites. It takes a little longer to load but I find the lather very protective and slick. I think the EJ/Muehle soaps are the missing link between the French and the English soaps.
If you're not opposed, I have found the cream to smell incredible and be pretty easy to work with. On top of that, the performance is top notch. Maybe just dumb luck, but my very best shaves have been with EJ creams.
I am a big fan of EJ Sea Buckthorn soap! I found it very easy to lather but it did not like a lot of water (strange). I love the scent and the performance was great. I got my refill for only 8 bucks so I think it was a worthwhile venture.

I have the EJ Aloe Vera, which I've learned from B&B threads to lather easily--lots of water, pretty long loading time. It provides excellent lather and shaves. I really enjoy Cella, Tabac, MWF, Razorock XXX, Pre de Provence, and Arko, and I regard EJ Aloe Vera as right up there with them in my rotation.
Not a top soap for me.

Picked up the Sea Buckthorn and a Sandalwood soap for £5 each at a local Chemist.
They both smell AMAZING but havent had a chance to lather them yet..

+1 They smell wonderful. Performance for me, was an easy lathering but quick drying soap. I'd stick to the creams myself if I had to pick.
I had no idea they offered the Sea Buckthorn in a soap.
I currently use their Aftershave Balm in that scent and am in love with it. Plus my girlfriend really digs it! I may have to check out this soap now.
It is a wonderful scent! Apparently pretty popular with the ladies too since my fiance wants a puck of her own now!

LAhter today quite dry by my third pass.
Also, the scent seems to have vanished. Is that normal?

I tried the Muhle Sandalwood. I believe the Muhle, and Edwin Jagger products are identical. The scent was good, but I found the performance subpar. Nowhere near the quality of say Tabac, or Queen Charlotte.
Given the size of the puck, these products are not exactly a good value either.
