Thanks @globalm I'm over the moon at your comments and the general collective so far. Both formulas have been the distillation of almost 9 months study, testing, more research, more testing and then further refinement with TSR's help. Glad you enjoyed.Just time for a brief post. I used the tallow this morning and found that, with my very soft water, it delivered an effect I had thought to be an urban myth. I had to look to see if there was a blade in my razor! The first WTG pass simply showed NO resistance to the blade. I have never encountered this before. Shave was completed with no problems at all and a (deliberate) strong ATG pass produce no irritation nicks or damage. The vegan I would buy, the tallow I have to have! Post shave feel is just right for my slightly dry skin.
Superb soap. I hope by the time I use up my sample, I'll be able to buy a replacement.

One for the future, perhaps..Lard & Dripping, great name for a soap
Would have hoped it would be with you by now @nick_sIf you can make it smell of peppered roast beef, it will be a winner in my eyes
Delaying my shave until postie brings the soapGiven the quite outstanding results achieved so far, I'm going to go both barrels and give the shavette the razor of the day when I use this soap
Great stuff @grarea thanks for your review and I'm pleased you enjoyed the soap. N.b. yep, the larger sample would have been the tallow / shea / lanolin formula.Apologies for the silence.
Things have been a bit busy. I am afraid that the scent samples got a bit low down on the 'to do' list.
I shall get to them in due course. (Although I suspect there are better qualified noses already having put in their views)
However, right on top of the pile was a couple of shaving soaps..... well then......
I grabbed the larger one of the two and having looked back in the thread, that is the tallow one correct?
I have soft water. I let it bloom whilst I have a quick shower and off we go.
It loaded very quick. (I guess because it is a softer soap).
VERY thick. Needed some water for sure. I think this is a good thing as you can adjust the lather to how you like it.
I face lather. Lathered up really easily. Felt real slick/slidey.
I did grab my normal shave for consistency but it felt so nice that I went for my third ever shave with my new Feather SS.
Great.
Well, I can't think of a single negative thing to say. I can't think of any constructive criticism that would be needed.
It seems to me like it did every thing it should and very well at that.
Post shave, my face just feels real soft.
Congratulations Sir. This just seems great.
I shall be happily using this now.
I shall try the other one later in the week.
Thanks for letting me try it.
Thanks @Stacy555 that's great to read that you've backed up your first shave with another good one. Glad that it passed the straight test, tooHad a second run with the Tallow tonight, once again great soap all round, even made the venture with the straight feel more tamable,
Slippy and Slidey, and no dryness afterwards.
