It’s rare these days, that I’m tempted to buy a new soap (I have far too many) but on seeing this one being used and described last week, I simply had to buy it; A&E's The Undersea.
The Undersea has a lovely fresh scent of Japanese grapefruit, Calabrian bergamot, fresh osmanthus and “wonderful marine notes.” It’s the closest I’ve found to my favourite P&B Trafalgar, maybe sweeter and less marine. Nonetheless, the citrus scents, which are subtle, made this an instant favourite. With the Kaizen formulation, it produced a superb lather.
I’d not shaved for longer than usual so decided to use the Rex Envoy with a new Voskhod, and what with the protection of the soap, I had a brilliant shave. Hurrah!
