Over to you, Henk.
The smell of the soap is very pleasant in a fresh woody sort of way, which is what sold me on it. As regards performance, I'm afraid I can do this review in four words: this soap is dismal. Apply a brush and it immediately produces profuse, bubbly lather; work it for a while in a bowl or on the face and it never becomes any denser or more stable: this stuff seems to be almost effervescent, not to say evanescent. I finally managed to get a very ordinary shave with it by using the brush with almost all the water shaken out of it, but even then the lather deteriorates quicker than one can shave. I'll try a superlather technique with a fair proportion of cream sometime, but as a standalone this soap is a failure and to be avoided in my opinion.
As you very well know, soapalchemist, most of us were very positive about your latest offering. Don't do yourself down.soapalchemist said:Gosh Arrowhead,
Is it possible that you have found a soap that performs worse than mine??
