...I have cut the stick in two and wrapped a piece in silver foil...
Oh they are used to it with me mate.A white substance wrapped in tin foil going through Customs. Oh what could possibly go wrong?
I haven't tried the stick, although I have one. I've been using the Lea cream and it's awful. It doesn't smell great. It has a touch of menthol - which I've never wanted or needed - I have to use loads of it or else I can see my skin through the thin foam, and it still doesn't give me the glide I want.I wanted a travel stick to take away to keep the weight down. I used to take a tub of soap with me, a waste of weight in the case for 3 shaves. I have never used the Lea soap but I have seen it in Spanish Supermarkets so I thought, why not give it a go. I bought two from Connaught Shaving. Great price although the postage cost the same of the product but it can't be helped, you can't expect free postage on such a small order when businesses are struggling these days, especially in niche markets such as ours.
They arrived and I gave one a go today. I was delighted by the Soap. Lathers easily and is slick and dense, glide and cushioning are excellent and the shave was a good one using my usual set up of Leaf and Twig with Wizamet blades installed. I have cut the stick in two and wrapped a piece in silver foil. That'll do for a weeks holiday for the next few years I'd imagine.
Great Soap, well worth a go.
The Stick is completely different & as wayne said it’s great.I haven't tried the stick, although I have one. I've been using the Lea cream and it's awful. It doesn't smell great.

I get good foam and glide from a tiny amount of Arko, Nivea, Taylors or Simpsons. I wish I'd never heard of Lea.
Okay, I'll crack out the stick. I have too many soaps on the go, but I like a challenge.The Stick is completely different & as wayne said it’s great.
iv used both the cream & stick and the lather you get from the stick is definitely worth a try.Okay, I'll crack out the stick. I have too many soaps on the go, but I like a challenge.
Yes, I use a stick that way. I remember as a teenager wondering how to use a soap stick (Boots) and rubbing a brush on it, and getting nowhere.iv used both the cream & stick and the lather you get from the stick is definitely worth a try.
Depends how you use your stick off course.
i rub it in to the face then use a brush to lather up
My mate does that now lolYes, I use a stick that way. I remember as a teenager wondering how to use a soap stick (Boots) and rubbing a brush on it, and getting nowhere.
Okay, the LEA stick is good, and a world of difference from the cream. I tried it today and posted on SOTD.My mate does that now lol

I was challenged to try LEA stick, after having rubbished LEA cream. They are, in fact, different beasts. The stick wins. Far better than the cream. Shave was completed with my favourite brush, the Simfix, and a MARS razor with a single edge Treet Platinum. My Coleus plants are doing well...www.theshavingroom.co.uk
