I purchased both the mentholated and non scented pre shave bar soaps. The results were absolutely impressive, applied and rinsed, then applied and face lathered right over with tabac soap, noticed a difference right away with my gillette 64 ss razor and gsb blade( 2nd use). this preshave soap is very slick. extremely happy with this pre shave, i love that effortless gliding feeling of the razor.
