There's not much out there on these soaps so thought it worthwhile starting a thread that provides some feedback on them. I've been making some basic notes as I've worked my way through my collection. Using either the discount codes for vendors or adding these to my Amazon Subscribe and Save, I've never paid more than £9 for one of these soaps and as low as £6 in some cases. I think these are a real bargain.
I'm no expert but I'd say the lather has been consistent across all of these. It bursts in to life easily and doesn't require a lot of water (I live in a soft water area). A 15 second load has always provided enough for >3 passes and is stable for the duration of the shave.
Scents (caveat - this isn't my forte):
Amber Fougere - A really nice and unique take Fougere. I think this is probably their most unique offering in terms of scent.
Sea Citrus - A sharp combination of marine scents with a citrus kick. The 'kick' has a sharp lemon undertone to it.
Abysso - I don't know what I was expecting from this scent but it wasn't this. A deep marine and cologne scent. I really like this one. Of the two marine based scents, I prefer this to Sea Citrus. Awesome graphics.
Stardust - A floral scent with a citrus rear. Once lathered, the citrus mellows leaving the floral (powdery floral) smell. It's nice but I found the scent from the lather had mostly gone by the time I was on to my third stroke of the razor.
Savage - A strong cologne scent from the tub that mellows in to a really pleasant and modern smell. I'm not sophisticated enough to describe the scent but those that like the 3T cologne based offerings should like this.
Inferno - I believe (I know - I bought it) my youngest will give this to me for Christmas. I'll add my findings to this thread once I've used it.
