Thought I'd take a punt on this soap to see how it performs at £7 for 100g puck. Available direct from website or eBay.
At the moment I just can't stop buying shaving soaps. Got 10 samples to get through as well as my 4 staple soaps from Wickham, Phoenix & Beau, Reef Point and Stirling - and I love them all, so I'm not massively experienced in ALL soaps from everywhere but I can give you my initial impressions.
Firstly, there's no real scent to this, clean and inoffensive. Quite a soft, croap style soap. Very easy to grate into a plastic container and press down.
Performance was excellent. Very, very easy to load, very easy to build a lather on my face. Probably had enough to do 4 or possibly 5 passes if I'd needed to. Able to take a decent amount of water - which I like. Great cushioning, very slick, nice post shave feel too, a pleasure to use. Now, at the moment I'm falling in love with using my very recently acquired Rockwell 6c - wow, what a razor! So, everything is feeling smooth and slick and top notch.
In time I'm gonna try this soap with a few of my other razors and blades to get a more rounded opinion of the soap, but after 2 shaves I'm very impressed in performance anyway, but for £7 it's a steal and worth trying as it's so inexpensive for a small batch UK made soap.
I'll update the thread to keep you .............updated but hope a few people try it to share your findings also.
