I know that a few of you have tried this soap from the now famous conuk incident. :lol:
Well I got my hands on some recently and have been really impressed. It's a very soft soap, something like a very stiff cream but definitely not like a soap that I'm used to. I've been using a fairly wet Omega 49 to lather it up, firstly from the bowl and finishing on my face. The lather it creates is fantastic, lots of cushion like a cream but with the slip and density of a soap. It doesn't dry out quickly and there is plenty there for 3+ passes if you need them. I'd rate this amongst some of the best soaps or creams that I've tried.
I've also tried the Valobra and Cella soft soaps but in my opinion this is the best of them. My only criticism is the lack of more scents, this stuff has the same almond scent as the other Italian soaps and although not unpleasant (unless you hate marzipan) it would be nice to have more choices, like a rose or sandalwood maybe.
I'd also like to say thanks to Paul of Connaught Shaving for making a manageable size piece available in a lovely wooden bowl. However much you like this soap a one kilo size brick can be a bit on the large size!
Big thumbs up from me.
cheers
