Cold River Soap Works Glide Review

I just had my second shave with the new Glide formula in the Olfactory Hue scent. WOW! This is an instant Top Tier soap and scent. "Glide" is the perfect name! It is a very soft croap, almost a cream.

I'm in complete agreement with you on this Hondo! I have yet to find a slicker, creamier and more moisturizing soap.

Instant LEGENDARY status!

I have to use mine again I didn't find it that much better than most CRSW soaps but CRSW for me is a very good soap. Also could be my water giving and issue with the performance.

Could be your water, could be something else. I've got extremely hard water here in Texas, to the point I've taken to using distilled for certain soaps. I don't find I need it for CRSW and perhaps that's because they use citric acid in their formulas? Either way, there are 3 soap brands, Wholly Kaw, Grooming Dept and now CRSW Glide that I find are head and shoulders above anything out there. All 3 have the best post shave and the performance of Glide bests Wholly Kaw and Grooming Dept especially in the area of slickness and residual slickness.

Keep at it with the Glide, you probably just dont have it dialed in. Once you do, you'll know it!

I just bought Glide Olfactory Hue today!! Cant wait to try it and compare with my beloved Select V2 line (I have 12 CRSW Select Soaps).

My Olfactory Hue just shipped! Can’t wait!

I’ve had Select and Olivo and sold both. I’m hearing great things about Glide.

I have a sample of Olfactory Hue that I’ve used a couple of times. The glide is truly there, impressive slickness. The scent is nice, but not my favorite, especially since CRSW generally fares so well in that area.

As slick as Glide is, I’m still even more impressed by the Oliva soap base.

Glide is so slick! Olfactory Hue is a winning scent, Fragile confusion is meh, not bad, just safe. Haven't tried the other one, not into florals. Wish they would come out with more scents.

How are you guys finding your Glide soap in the longevity department? I broke through to the bottom in 10 shaves. I'll admit that my first 2 shaves I used too much, but have settled on about a 5-10 second load with very light pressure. Not that it bothers me all that much considering how much soap is in the den and it is nice to finish them off. Other then longevity, it's been an enjoyable soap to use with a scent that has slowly grown on me (Olfactory Hue).

Due to the softness of Glide, I transferred the soap into silicone travel squeeze bottles and dispense it that way. Each time I get the exact amount on my brush that I want and don't waste any.
