This soap is part of the very generous PIF i received from tony from mastershave, and i have to say, scent wise this stuff is spot on. Its the first proper shave soap I've used, the others all being creams, and i truly was surprised at how quickly it lathered. Because its a hard soap i sprinkled some water on top of it five minutes before lathering just to let it soften a bit, and 20 seconds in the container with the brush and about 30-45 in my bowl afterwards and i had a glorious lather more than enough for three passes. Great soap, especially if you like spicy scents. Lather 10/10 perfectly stable, quick lathering and great protection Slickness 10/10, the slickest soap or cream ive ever used, absolutely great for preventing razor burn, great residual slickness too Price 6/10, at eleven euros, perhaps a little pricey if you're on a budget, but this stuff is so hard that it will last you an entire year easily. Scent 8/10, less potent when lathered, but you can certainly smell that bay rum and single malt in the mix. Sent from my Redmi S2 using Tapatalk
Not too difficult to raise a lather from a hard puck soap. Glad you had a chance to branch out because there are many good products in that format.
Great review Matthew! I’m anxious to hear what you have to say about the soap from Jaco that you have!
