This morning I tried my first GD soap: Cascade in the Lusso base. I loaded the soap for about 30s with a damp synthetic brush and then started face lathering, adding droplets of water on the brush as needed. I'm not sure I got the right water ratio but the lather reminded me of the one I get with Noble Otter soaps. Slickness was quite good though a tad below what I get with Barrister and Mann Glissant; again, probably I should have added a bit more water. This soap impressed me in terms of post-shave feeling: I didn't use any post-shave product (normally I use an unscented balm and an alcohol-based splash) but after 8 hours my face is still soft and moisturized. Last but not least, the scent of Cascade is extremely pleasant and I wish it was available in a post-shave product! ;-)
Overall, I'm very satisfied by my first experience with GD and I look forward to receiving my first order purchased directly from Mohammad, including Aion, the "famous" pre-shave, and the rejuvenating post-shave serum.
