    Come join me for The Tweeds of March. I'll be using a different Green Irish Tweed inspired soap for every shave this month. Let's celebrate the coming of spring in style! Come post all of your GIT SOTD photos here.

    I have the shave soap, but they also make its matching after shave.

    Just the soap, it performs really good. I should get some of their after shaves as I have two other soaps of theirs.

    The Tweeds of March shave 5 was not the best shave soap I've tried. Lather was airy and bubbly, no matter how much soap I tried to load. It felt like trying to shave with dish washing detergent. It was a little better when I took the brush out of the equation and hand lathered. Good thing I have about 20 other GIT soaps to choose from. This does make a great bath soap, though. Left my skin feeling nice and soft.
