I have just ordered the Czech & Speake No88 soap,to those of you who have
used this soap what can i expect.Is it on par with Martin De Candre and
MWF and Tabac.I love the smell of the No88 fragrance is the soap similar?
while some may find this a fine soap...i myself gave it away as an also ran...nothing outstanding imho..altho i found the same with MdC, whereas Institute karate is excellent as is Klar Kabinett, tabac and the fat
In my experience I got it in the 'travel' size as a gift. Didn't have a container the right size and ended up putting it in a slightly larger one. It meant that I couldn't get it to lather adequately, so ended up giving it away. Never looked back. It did smell very mildly of the No. 88 scent (which is very strong as a cologne by the way). I also detected the earthy clay scent that people talk about in reviews for this one.
I am tempted by its Oxford and Cambridge cousin though!

Personally, I really like the performance of the #88 and am surprised to see anything negative written about it. Matter of fact that's what's been a part of the last few days worth of shaves. I have the travel size puck stuck to the bottom of a 1 cup glass bowl and that makes loading the brush easy to do.
To me it works as well as MWF, which is saying something.
