The French Bloc Osma is one of the best. Just don't put it away wet. That can cause the stone to erode after awhile. You can use a soap box, etc. to store it in.
Osma alum seems inexpensive too, always a good thing! Should I just allow it to dry naturally then, or wipe it dry with paper or fabric? Sorry, completely clueless here!
I have small amounts of GFT Coconut, Lime and Rose tallow-based shaving soaps in their original bowls from twenty years ago. I never bothered to try any of the newer versions based on the reviews.
It's a bit depressing to read that they had decent shaving soaps a few years ago, but now have such a tricky product to use! I wore their Spanish Leather cologne yesterday and was reminded of the quality of ingredients and excellent composition of their fragrances for the price, such a great shame they no longer make decent shave soaps to complement them. Eucris is another favourite of mine from their older scents and even their recent releases like Havana, Paisley and especially the Eucris EDP still seem to be of a very high standard. In fact the Eucris EDP is fantastic IMHO and probably in my Top 15 of all time!
Oh, I intended to ask about the Tabac shaving soap, does anyone here have any experience with it? I really like the cologne and love the EDT, which is greener and somehow more masculine to my nose. I've read quite a few positive comments but is it a good fit for a novice like me?
Thanks again All, hugely appreciated. Will be placing a lot of orders tomorrow when I have more time!
