It's good soap, but don't take my word for it,, try some and you will see for yourself.Has anyone heard of Oatcake soaps at all? I heard some good stuff about them on FB so I contacted them and they are sending me a sample set of all of their soaps for £5 inc postage which seems good value. The link below is to the shop which has a lot of positive reviews.

I've not tried that scent yet. Remember to lather up slowly with little water at the start.Thanks to your review I've just ordered a tub of Mahogany. Can't wait for it to arrive! Should be a lovely warm scent on a cold winter's morning.
I bowl lathered initially and found the lather a little thin too despite looking up to scratch (although the performance was still great). I contacted Ed who advised to use a drier brush at the start and add water more slowly and take more time on the lather. The lather was much thicker on second attempt.Tried the soap now. Started with Abyss from the sample pack. It's a really great scent and, unusually for a soap, it leaves a little residual scent - but not enough to upset your EDC.
I've always found that the relatively small amount of soap in a sample militates against being able to load the brush really well, so I was unsurprised that, initially, face lathering with a synthetic brush produced a slightly thin lather. I was able to improve that by drying the brush and returning for a bit more soap loading. This produced a lather which, while not up there with the most copious latherers, was perfectly adequate.
It soon became evident, on shaving, that the apparent slight lather thinness bore no relationship to the cushion and protectiveness of this soap. I had an excellent shave (Blackland Blackbird and a new Personna Blue) with no weepers and superlative post-shave face feel.
This is really good soap and I recommend you try it.
Abyss is lovely! And I agree with the doing skin some good - it is soft on the face. I'm still working my way through the samples as I'm finding that very little soap goes a very long way. I'm going to find it hard to choose and will probably end up getting a few.Enablement has taken effect and I've ordered a tin of this soap. I've lathered and sniffed my way through the sample pack and have gone with the first one I tried - Abyss. I might have gone for the lemon but as the summer is nearly gone I think the profundity of Abyss will suit better.
It may only be me but this soap seems to be doing my skin a lot of good. It's even soothing the old rosacea.
Thanks @honeywoodjohn for the recommendation.
