Leaves You Feeling Silky Smooth
Like another reviewer, this was not an item I would have selected myself.  I received it as a gift from a friend and was hesitant to use it out of fear that it would have an overpowering floral smell due to the lavender.  However, the bar ended up being a pleasant surprise, and I will likely buy it again.<br /><br />Since I don't like too many bubbles in my bath and, more importantly, like stretching my Lush products as much as possible due to the cost, I cut the bar into fourths.  I found it to be a lot harder to cut than most Lush products, so if you're going to cut it, use a really strong knife and be ready for it to blow apart a bit as you slice through.  (It's pretty crumbly.)<br /><br />What I like about this bar is that, even though it's not very bubbly -- even as someone who cuts bars, I usually get more from others than this one -- it leaves a wonderful silky feeling on your body.  I love that, even in the water, I can feel it on my legs, and not in an annoying greasy way at all.  It's so relaxing!  I usually put cocoa butter on my legs after shaving, and I don't need to do anything after using this bar.  It has some sort of wonderful lotion quality about it that I adore.  More than the scent or bubbles, that is the reason I will purchase it for myself in the future.<br /><br />The only objection I have is that it seems to melt a bit more than other bubble bars.  I've kept it in a sealed container in a cool area, but it just doesn't keep well.  If you're going to cut it, be sure to use the other pieces within a couple weeks at the most.  And, like all bubble bars, don't get it wet unless you're going to use it right away, because even the tiniest bit of moisture gets it going.
