Well I've been using this soap for the past three weeks or so, day in day out, and must say I don't feel the need to change at the moment. I'm not going to start to, in a high brow fashion, wax lyrical about it but I will say that it is a forgiving soap in the way it feels good on the skin and creates a good cushion of lather with the first two passes being XTG [using super thins at the moment and have shelved my dear Feathers for now]. Mind you I do apply it thick and face lather with a dab of hot water to get it whipped up. I'm pretty extravagant when it comes to making lather be it Palmolive or High end soaps so this may have something to do with it. The scent is another thing that hits the mark for me. It's a dryish almost bitter scent like if you cut a holly branch and smell the fresh wood, nice and bitter something of a required taste maybe. I think the Almond in the name refers to the oil used though not quite sure as I got this cake as a swap at TSR and didn't get the box with it. All in all very pleased with this soap and it seems to be a far cry from all the fancy scented concoctions that are on the market today, dare I say old fashioned without being olde worlde retro. Will be buying, nay stocking up on this one.
