This look's really interesting. Has anyone here tried these?
To get the thread back on track and to try and answer your question, I have not used any of them yet. BUT, Ian (owner of the groom room) tests every one of the soaps he stocks. He's extremely knowledgeable about his products and wouldn't sell them if they were not up to standard. Send him a quick email and he'll tell you exactly what he thinks of the product and its qualities, I guarantee he won't try to bullshit you into a sale.
I sent another newly converted friend in there a couple of weeks back when he wanted a new razor. I had already given him a Boots own with one of my JEC handles to get him started but he wanted something else to try. I gave him a bit of info on what I thought he should get which would have run him to about £40. When he spoke to Ian in the shop, and under his advice, he walked out with a razor for half the price of my suggestions and is now enjoying his shaves even more.
ps, Good spot HM, I missed it the first time and was just about to point it out, only to find you had got there first
