Cognac and Cuban Cigars Shaving Soap from Henri et Victoria is only $14.95 on Amazon

I have tried 40+ soaps to date. I get much better results with $4 RazoRock's "What the Puck" soaps, and $8 mass market, yet high quality Proraso / Tabac / Spieck / Lea products. Similarly priced vegan soaps perform way better for me (e.g. West Coast Shaving, Soap Commander, inter alia).

Hence the performance of the Henri et Victoria is "sucky" in my personal opinion.

For anyone not familiar with HeV soaps, here I lather up with the vegan formulation...

I bought this from Amazon, knowing full well that it was the vegan formula. The scent is very light compared to my other soaps, but the performance was great. All someone had to do was read the description and they would have known what they were getting. With the exception of MdC all of my soaps are tallow. I found this soap to be easy to lather and provided a good shave. I don't feel cheated because it isn't the tallow version.

Oh, that Cognac and Cuban Cigars Shaving Soap deal sounded like a steal! ? But it's a shame to hear about the special version without tallow and lanolin. Thanks for the heads-up, though.You know, I've been getting more into cigars recently. There's just something about enjoying a good cigar that's so relaxing. And speaking of cigars, I stumbled upon these custom cigar bags at https://www.interplas.com/cigar-bags/custom-cigar-bags. They've been a game-changer for me, keeping my cigars fresh and ready to enjoy. If you're into cigars, too, it's worth checking out.

That was 4 1/2 years ago my friend!
Still plenty of great deals to be had on excellent soaps nowadays though…

The aroma of Cognac and Cuban Cigars is wonderful, but the performance of the vegan version of Henri et Victoria is just average. I would love to see a similar scent released by some of the better soapmakers.

This soap is labeled as “triple milled” which it clearly is not.  When I noted this to the manufacturer, their response indicated they did not actually know the meaning of the term.

Try and seek out Chiseled Face Guy Noir.

The aroma of Guy Noir sounds nice. I have tried Chiseled Face soaps in the past and have 4 in my collection. The performance is significantly better than H. et V. However, the performance is not good enough to be included in my current rotation. The Chiseled Face soaps are a good value at their price point, but I have sensitive skin and prefer soaps with a higher level of skin protection and skin conditioning.
