Gold Dachs?

[hunnymonster]

Anyone got any info on Gold Dachs shaving soap? Looks interesting, but if it's sandalwood they can keep it, however well it performs :mrgreen: (at least one I looked at was described as "Sandalholz" :? )

Without posting a link to the actual review I think you can safely conclude it ain't your dreaded SW more trad soap smell.

Seems to get a lot of good reviews, scent is described as clean/soapy.

I have used it on and off. PIF'd by Frederick. It's very nice. I mention it and Fred comments back here:

I PIF'd what I had remaining to Ollie a couple of weeks ago. I haven't heard what he thinks of it yet. Shhhh...don't tell him there's no tallow in it.

As far as buying some new, I looked around last year and it's actually very expensive, almost MdeC prices if I remember rightly. You have to order it from abroad, a European website.

I've used Dovo which is relabelled Gold Dachs, it's also available under the Rivivage name.
The normal soap is very similar in scent to Truefitt or Culmak and the lather is very good.
The sandelholz is a different scent i.e. sandalwood.

Yeah, it's the same as Dovo, which is available at Connaught!

Used it this morning - it's nice, creamy, lathers easily "soapy" scent.

I like it - on the "white puck" front it's one up from Vergulde Hand, two up from Burma Shave. Seems softer than (e.g.) Tabac.

I like it but I wouldn't pay big bucks for it. I'll PIF it along if you want to give it a whirl. Seems to belong to the club after all!

I like the embossing on the cake - at first I thought it said "1791" but now I see it's "1971" - almost established as long as me :lol:
