    I will hold my thumbs for you @Cool Breeze , its the least I can do.

    Damn I just checked what it would cost to buy from TSD Store, one soap will land on 24.99 including shipping. I live in sweden.

    Many on here say it lathers great and gives good protection, thought I might try it out. But it doesnt feel good paying approximately 2/3 of the total prize to UPS =P. USA should join EU HAHAHA

    @Cool Breeze

    Lathering using the method you demonstrated in the video will be different for me because as you see in the uploaded pic, my bowl is flat =p

    Load your brush from the soap container and then go to the cereal bowl for lather

    First of all thats one sweet dish, I REALLY like it.
    I made another video (same place, I'll post you a link in a minute) where I bowl lathered out of the same type of shallow dish, it may help.

    Thank you, I had been wanting it for a while. Picked it up when I was in venezuela for vacation in december =D It was cheaper, also bought 3 pucks of the same soap because it smells amazing!

    During the last shave I did like you demonstrate in the new video, just might need a liittle bit more soap next time. the past 3 days i've been busy and working so haven't been able to do the shave routine =/

    I appreciate the help @Cool Breeze

    Any time brother.
    As you can see in the last video, use EVEN MORE water so it flows into your bowl.
    Good luck.

    Less than $3.00.
    great stuff, smells VERY nice.

    Of the white and pink varities (one is deluxe, one is luxury) I prefer the pink. The scent is very strong while using but rinses clean away when done.
    Not a sharp or spicy smell and not a soap powder smell either. If it makes any sense, its a very strong scent without being loud.
    I think many shavers turn a blind eye to VDH soaps because they arent imported and dont cost $15.00 a puck.
    Too bad. You've seen me lather in a bowl, on my face, it allways lathers easily, I cannot figure out why someone would pay $15.00 for a soap that takes a month to learn how to use.
    Hard water, soft water, hot,cold.
    VDH will lather with muddy water from a footprint.

    Strong scent without being louds sounds logical to me. I like that.

    So they make the luxury soap pink you say =P i dont Care, it can be brown too.

    Im taking you up on your offer in a couple of months =P but untill then in posting my results from the loccitane soap

    So I think in getting much better at this. Still managed to dry around my mouth and chin, but this time it's because I took my time. Applied a bit of water on my face and applied new layer or lather.

    I just wanna say I got a bit cocky with the shavette.. Lol. One shan't get cocky whilst using a shavette
