i'd like to try the WM versions in the future but for now here's what i think about the clay ones
first off forget about getting mountains of stiff peak'd lather, it doesn't happen.
i've tried various methods and i know it's not me.
(best used with a boar brush, as it's a hard wee soap, and lots of product)
this can lead to a little bit of trepadation when you first use them.
this is where the clay in the soap does it's thing, good lubricity or slip is acheived with these soaps, not amazing or revalation like but better than you'd expect given the lack of lather.
lot's of good scents to suit any nose
they won't replace Tabac/DRH as a must have soap but it was nice to try.
i suspect it might suit a Straight user more as the visibility of your face is good whilst shaving.
i also imagine the WM version to be better and more like the type of product we're used to
i'd like to hear what the people that received these in my PIF's thought, good or bad?
