Wow, that took me back down memory lane. Old Spice and Tabac were the only two that my dad and his dad used when I was just knee high and my favorites when hit high school in the 70's. Of course both of these are now staples in my shave den.

Great shave with the Mediterranean in the background.
What a great discovery this Lea soap bar. For $1.50 in the local groceries store it is unbeatable. Great protective, slick lather, though the post shave is not as good as eufros it is more than fine.
End result: smooth, comfortable and enjoyable shave. Only a mild sting in the neck from the alum block.
Conclusion: great find this soap, it will become my travel soap of choice.
