Pre de Provence 63. WOW!!

[timetofly]

I just received my puck of PdP 63. Being the kid that I am and can't wait to see how it lathers, I did just that.

A damp badger....about a 10-15 second load....to a damp palm it went. After adding a little more water to the brush I continued to build the lather. WOW!....just WOW!! This soap produces a lather as good, if not better, but not by much, than my Tabac.

The scent, as described by one poster here at B&B, would be close to Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb. I can see that, or should I say smell that. This soap has just found it's way in to a permanent spot in my den and rotation.

Congrats, on the new soap! I prefer the lather of Tabac to PdP, but the scent of PdP 63 is absolutely intoxicating to me. I'm especially fond of it in the fall. Enjoy!

Very nice!

Finding something fantastic is a great feeling

I agree it is a great soup. It is a nice change from Tabac. I especially like the scent. I personally prefer the shave of Tabac but the scent is second to none for me.

To round things out, it's also very long lasting ... Triple-milled, I would bet.

And the tin won't rust. Some do.

I love this soap, especially the scent.

Love at first smell. It was my first pick and very well could be the last one I buy...as in It-owns-my-nose-and-face.
Bought the bath bar, shave cream, shower gel, and beard oil(yes I still wear an occasional beard). Love all of it.

PdP 63 is a great soap and amazing scent. I've used it like a shave stick (wet face, dip side of puck in water, rub on face like a stick, then face lather) and it's worked out well!!

I adore PDP63!
That scent is mind blowing and the performance leaves nothing to be desired!

I tried palm lathering my PdP 63 puck today and I would say it out-performed my Georgetown Scuttle.
Stellar lather.

Travel just got that much easier.

After reading this thread I broke out my puck and had a very enjoyable shave this morning.

Thanks for the information on this soap.

Great stuff and hard as heck. Numerous shaves and have worn it down less than 1/8", it may outlast me.

NICE!! This is another for my ‘to try’ list!!

 

[Ad Astra]

Another forumite recommended superlathering it with some bourbon Cremo; going to try that.

I had PdP, but today bought some PdP no. 63 Hair and Body Wash, to sample the aroma. I definitely like it! It smells like good men's cologne, or what I envision when I think of Cologne. PdP is a nice, clean herbal smell. They are totally different. I'll be buying a puck of both next year!

If I had to choose only one soap to use from now on, PdP 63 would be in the running. This and regular PdP are both top-tier soaps in my book; great performance, great scents, and they last forever.

To my nose, PDP 63 is one of the best scents out there.

I rate the soap 8 out of 10 points for slickness, cushion and post shave feel. I also rate it 8 of 10 on ease of loading and ease of lathering. Thus, it gets a overall score of 80% while I have quite a few soaps that rate much higher on performance and still have great scents. I keep it in my rotation, but if I ever finish the puck, it will not be replaced.

How is the slickness and protection? I bought this soap three months ago and still haven't used it. It smells great. Going to use it tomorrow morning for the first time.
