Review (4/5): A quality soap at a budget soap price
One thing that DE shaving has done to me is it has made me an absolute snob about soap. My favorite so far is Stirling "Naked and Smooth", but this is a close second. The scent on it to me smells like Lemon Pledge, but it does not linger long after your shave. Some people have pressed this stuff into a jar and lathered it that way. I however do the face lather with it (wet face, wet end of stick, rub on face, rub face with brush, watch lather magically appear) and what I get is a good thick lather with a lot of slickness to it. I can get an extremely close shave with no irritation and the price of this stuff makes that all the more amazing. Less than 2 dollars an ounce? You are not going to get a better soap at that price than this. Guaronteed.
So why only 4 stars? The one con I have with this is that it tends to leave my face feeling a little dry on the post shave so I do not use it as often as some other products I use. I find using a moisturiser helps with this, but it is not an issue I have had with other soaps or creams like Stirling or Lucky Tiger. While I do enjoy the scent and the slickness of this soap, the drying quality I keep getting makes me somewhat wary of getting another stick when this one runs out. If you don't have sensitive skin like I do, then this is probably the soap for you.
