It smelled nice but was just ok.
It's expensive for a cake of soap. It smells nice. It lathers ok. Or rather the lather comes up quick but is very thin. I have to pair it with a lotion or shave oil to make for a comfortable shave experience. I've shaved about 30 times with it and have been shaving with a brush and puck of soap for about 10 years so it's not a technique issue. I kept experimenting w/ the amount of water on the brush while building the lather but it kept coming out thin.<br /><br />I can only explain it this way; there's a lot of volume to the lather but it's thin and whispy when it goes on your face.<br /><br />I liked Cella's lather better.  Cella has that thick lather that kind of cakes on to your razor.
