Review (5/5): Great Scent and Lather
Interesting product overall! At first glance, they seem to be another company trying to make men's skincare sexy, in case you didn't catch the reference to sexiness three times in the first three bullets in the product description. Their lineup actually seems like quite a good general lineup that is inoffensive and should work well for most men to easily start focusing on their skincare routine. Any more specialized products that you know that you like and work for your skin may be better, provided they are also made with quality and carefully selected ingredients such as this one. The method of application is interesting, it's basically a bar soap in a twist container. Good for portability and feels unique? One more thing though, the container is absolutely a joy to hold. It's this dry-matte feeling plastic which is soft and almost papery to the touch, the top screws off and on in a very smooth and satisfying fashion. The container itself is so well made, I wouldn't be surprised if it were over half the cost of the product. And I'd almost say it's worth it, it's that satisfying. But that's how they get you, fellow men. It's almost buying into the everyday carry hype of selling premium, nice, tactile things that last a long time to build a habit forming relationship, though in this case it's getting men to wash their faces. Nice! The soap does seem to last a long time though, I've used it for my washes for a few weeks now and it's barely decreased. I'll update my review with more info on how long it lasts. The soap feels great, I like eucalyptus. It spreads and lathers easily, cleans skin, and doesn't overly dry. It's really quite good and I like it, though something about it feels generic. I don't mind generic as long as it works, I just know that I've tried better soaps for better prices, even if the container isn't as nice. But this product is about the routine and the lifestyle, and I respect what they are doing. This is a well crafted product that will last a long time, and is worth a try at least if you haven't given your skincare routine a look, ever, and you want a quick and easy level up. This is probably a good gift for newly-graduated high-school-turned-college students as well.
