Having been recently introduced to Etsy I found traditional Crafts and saw the Liquorice Shave. Being a Liquorice lover I thought I would give it a try. delivery was quick and the scent is fantastic. The ingredients list Oil of Aniseed, Black pepper, Cinnamon, fennel and Vetiver all of which come across well.
So this morning I decided to give it a try. Bearing in mind where I live we have very soft water the lather produced was well, an understated disappointing. Getting any sort of lather was difficult and once on my face it simply started to dissolved. Now, after being here on a while and using many a soap I consider myself to be a fairly good lathered of the brush. Heck I've even got a very good lather out of Mitchell's Wool fat !
There also seems to be very little cushion effect from what lather you can produce, obviously due to the lathering and dissolving. Something which has left me, very unusually with a slightly raw feeling.
For scent it's a real 5 star, for lather a big fat ZERO.
