Review (4/5): A Wet Shaver's Slick Delight
It's a great product that protects quite well. By protects, we mean sticks to your skin with a nice slippery texture that allows your razor to glide right over. To me, it smells like a dairy product, similar to milk.
While it is a very effective soap that will last a long time, the downside is it takes time to prep/load the puck. For that reason alone, I will deduct a mark. I soak the puck in warm water while I take a shower, so let's say 3 minutes. Then it takes upwards of a minute to load the brush, while the soap in your dish is turned upside down.
That may be a nice routine for some people including myself, yet if I'm in a rush, forget it. I'll find a much easier soap that doesn't need coaxing. For that reason alone, this soap will not become a 'casual' shaver's best choice. Still though, nice to mix things up and add this to your unique arsenal of hard shaving soaps.
