I've always heard good things about Talbot Shaving soaps, but to be honest they've been unobtanium for me. I wasn't too concerned because I have enough great soaps to keep me busy. That's why I was surprised when I randomly looked at one of the popular online shaving retailers to find it in stock. However, you'd need to purchase the soap with the Maol Grooming AS set. That's fine by me because Maol Grooming has also been on my short list if AS to try. I'm looking forward to giving these both a shot. Anyone else pull the trigger on the soap?
