With a pretty simple formula, it's attractive on paper. Usual hilariously over-scented American soap, smelling more like a scented candle than a shaving soap. It burns. Whether that's the soap or the clearly over-fragrancing, I don't know.
In use, it works. It loads easily, spreads well and lathers up without going overly foamy. It's not especially thick or especially tight. But, it works ... like Carling "works" as a lager.
It's middle of the road, at best. Like much of the offerings from that nation, it's happy merely to have gotten to market with little care or attention to the details that take a soap from just working to a soap that works to a soap that is sublime. The theme has taken a hold, the market satisfied and the product running in quite secondary.
I've six other scents to try and they differ in colour quite dramatically, so I'm wondering whether there might be performance differences as the fragrancing changes - it's clearly a BIG part of the soap.
This was 'Billy the Kid' ... Black Cherry, Bourbon & Vanilla. Curiously, the Jovan Musk aftershave and Pinaud Quinine hair tonic kinda worked with it.
