Extro Cosmesi Cream

Been using Extro's Egyptian Oudh recently. More of a croap than a cream and a little goes a long way. Quite thirsty but gradually dribbling in a little more water, lathers like a champ and I think it's heavy exotic fragrance is awesome. The aftershave although good as an aftershave is more of an EDT and seems to last and project for ever.

My Egyptian Oudh arrived today. The scent is pretty light from the tub but I’m hoping it strengthens when lathering.

What’s your technique for getting a good lather from this soap? I haven’t tried it yet but I’m thinking wet the brush and swirl from 30 seconds.

It's a soft soap - you shouldn't need more than a 20 second load. It's a veg base so it will look a little foamy/overhydrated initially but don't worry. It will burst in to a thicker slick lather following some more swirls.
 
I'm a bit wary of this brand in case my skin reacts to the scents. To help me decide, to what other soaps or creams are they similar.

they make few choices for people with sensitive skin (like ‘zero’ with no scent) and most of them will be delicate to the skin for most people apart from bay rum and youtimol (which is also now out of production). Not sure really to what other cream I can compare it, it really is something of its own in my opinion. If not sure about scents/mechanics, on Connaught shaving they sell samples of 10 ml which is enough to make 3 shaves and they have plenty of choice for the scents (maybe they don’t have all of them but quite few). For me the strongest point of extró is really the scent side, original and out of ordinary scents, very well balanced, a beautiful ‘trip’ while shaving
