There doesn't seem to be many reviews out there for this brand so here's a dedicated thread.
E&S Rasage Traditionnel are a husband and wife (if I recall correctly) team based in France. They produce both vegan and tallow bases for their soaps and use a perfumer (correct term?) to help develop their scents. This seems to work as the scents appear very well done and quite complex. As we've all experienced, a person who makes a good soap base doesn't always have a great nose. Matching splashes and EdTs are also available.
I originally received a sample of Zenith with a purchase from a UK retailer. It smelt great but I passed the sample on in a BST sale. I was under one of those self imposed 'no further purchase' rules at the time. Well, rules are there to be broken. I purchased a full tub of the Zenith a few months later and have added a few more E&S soaps since. Despite owning a couple of them for a few months, I haven't actually used them yet. I'll be taking you on that journey in this thread.
Here's a link to the range at Shaving Time:
I have 5 E&S soaps in the tallow base (I've found some of the recent artisan vegan bases too rich for my skin):
Equinoxe
Oasis
Zenith
Barber
Azur
Each of these smells great from the tub. I'll expand more on the scent of each during their corresponding review. I've noticed a few of you using E&S soaps in your SOTDs - please feel free to share your thoughts here.
