This is the only soap that I bought and eventually went to the trash can.
Also one Italian Barber soap (Aquatico I think). But for the price, I didn't expect it to be that good anyway.
I did not hate Soap Commander renewal, but I didn't find the soap to be very good, just decent and the scent wasn't for me.
What did you dislike about the Aquatico? The Italian Barber line was so affordable I was thinking about ordering a few this year but figured, they're cheap you know? Not even good enough to be $3.99? If so, thats pretty terrible.
Well I wouldn't say I hate these soaps but they definitely were disappointments
B&M 42 - bought the Shop & AFTER Shave, performance is great but the scent makes me want to was my face again and again until I can't even remember the smell.
LPL - Rose du Pushkar - someone else commented on this scent earlier and I agree with it being horrible. I get no Rose scent whatsoever, smells like old lady perfume to me.
Dapper Dragon Obi - smells like an ashtray and just so so performance

I absolutely love Barrister and Mann’s “42”. Goes to show just how individual these scent matters are…
Tried to think of a soap that would have been subpar in one way or another, but I simply could not. I guess I’ve been lucky in that sense.
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”

I was going to like this post because I'm in total agreement on the LPL, but totally disagree about Obi Hill! I love that soap! YMMV indeed...

My most disappointing soap this past year was The Holy Black bay, whiskey, lime. Great scent but one of the absolute few soaps I couldn't coax a lather from. I actually binned it after three uses.
Flash forward to the updated formula and, having picked up some somewhat reluctantly based on a trusted friend, they have a very nice soap. Easy to lather, good post have. Nice example of adjusting to meet customer expectations albeit after the fact.
