Wanted to try Dr. Selby but could find no vendor offering until recently when I read that RazorBladesandMore, David, offered this as well as tubes (5% off using code: SHAVE). So I ordered immediately. The surprize for me was the green color, a harder soft soap, other than the normal cream texture you would expect and has a slight lavender scent - I was hoping for something more stronger scented though. Great lather with three uses so far with Fido's first two brushes and a Commodore. I plan to shave tonight with a down and dirty loaded 620 boar face lather. That green cream color is something else though. I keep thinking LIME.
Not disappoined in the purchase but for me I should have purchased a tube of cream first so I could send out a few samples to friends here at TSR. Another monkey now off my back because I wanted to try this cream soap from Uruguay. I would recommend it for the glycerin fans and those who want a whiff of lavender. Sorry, I'm spoiled because I live so close to the lavender farms here in the Pacific Northwest.
I have been collecting differant color/glass/plastic shaving bowls past months for display in the guest bathroom - to get away from just a shelf full of wooden bowls - so the Selby container is, as you English put it, dee-litetuh-full. How's that accent Dodgy and Trainman? The box has a picture that shows you how to place the bowl onto the top of the cover. Not that it is unstable, not at all, just a handy place to put both on the countertop; has drainage holes.
