I was so impressed with the performance of Flying Hide, that I quickly ordered The Trail.. it is definitely one of my 'Elite' soaps.

I received The Trail yesterday but too late to use it for a shave. First shave was this morning. This is premium lather, for sure. It lathered quick and was able to absorb a ton of water. I could (and probably should have) added even more water. Very happy with the performance during the shave, and no complaints about post-shave either. An hour later, I feel no irritation. Scent reminded me of Myrsol Agua Balsamica, so I used it for my aftershave. I wish the scent was a bit stronger. Maybe a 4-5 out of 10. Sometimes the scent strength picks up after a few uses to we'll see what happens. Bottom line - a very good soap.

My second impression would be good as well. But this time I used alum so can't comment on post-shave.
This soap is very slick (but maybe not the slickest, but more than enough slickness) with luxorious lather.
The lather is in between B&M reserve and GD -> B&M Reserve gives me watery kind of slickness and GD the oily kind.
I don't think you will be dissapointed Jeff.
At the same time don't get your hopes too high -> you are already using top products.
But the scent alone is worth my purchase - this is definately my kind of barbershop scent.

Thanks for your thoughts. I think you and I have a lot of the same soap preferences so it seems like it would be a safe bet. So yay or nay on the aftershave?
