Fantastic new spin on barbershop
A quick look in the cabinet above my sink will show that I am often on the look out for great shaving soap. I have talked with people on line who found one soap, settled on it and never thought to look elsewhere. I was that way when i first started traditional shaving, but then the internet and places like this showed me there was more to wet shaving than Art of Shaving (and at a great deal).<br />I stumbled upon Supply Provision's soap when I purchased their synthetic brush, and thought for the price it seemed like a good deal. I selected their Barbershop soap. They take a very bold take on barbershop. I was expecting a powdery, clean scent, but I got something much better. As listed on the cap, it uses bergamot, basil leaf, oak moss, cedar wood, lavender and white patchouli. No one scent dominates, but this ends up being a very unique and fantastic scent that is unlike anything else in my den.<br />The packaging is very nice and is easy to identify as there is print on the top and sides. Usually when I get packaging like this i just expect the soap to have been poured into the tub, but this a perfectly sized puck that can be removed if you wish to put it in a mug or bowl. The soap is soft enough that you can press it down and form it to this container as well.<br />The performance on this soap is fantastic. Due to the addition of clay it takes a tad longer to load than other soaps do, but you are rewarded with a very slick lather.<br />I tested this soap for several days. I palm, bowl, and face lathered and found this soap to be a great performer. While I will be putting this away for a bit as I feel it is a fantastic fall scent, I can't wait to use this again.<br />I hope they continue to come out with fantastic products like these.
