SueZbana Aloe Vera soap review

[Dazednconfused]

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.

Sorry it's taken so long coming back with an update on this.
Been using this soap for last month or so with 2 razors at home, my newly acquired Rockwell 6c (which I absolutely LOVE!) and my temperamental Parker 65R. I say temperamental as I've found it more difficult to find a smooth shave with this razor more than any of my others. Find it pretty aggressive with plenty of blade feel compared to others I've tried.
However, I think I've tamed it, and this soap plays a large part in that. Initial impressions were very good - and nothing has changed since then.
Used a variety of my favoured blades - Gillette SB and Platinum, Perma Sharp, Nacet, Astra and Rapira. Not yet used with Feathers though.
The soap is slick, lathers very easily, great post shave feel and provides cushioning and protection (really feels like it nourishes the skin) - superb value for money.
I'll now be using the soap with another pair of razors - my trusty Merkur 37 slant bar and the Parker 26 Open Comb.
