The new review system is too rigid for my amateur style of reviewing. It probably works fine for most of you, but I kept feeling shoehorned, so I abandoned it. If you're curious about my impressions of this new artisan, check the other forums.

That is a great picture, the fabric background is perfect for that lovely brush.

Thank you sir.

Now that is an excellent shot Chris.

First ever use with LASSCO.

So there may be something in the soap that doesn't agree with my skin 100 percent. Not sure what though at this point, as it has quite a scent profile. It does smell quite unusual, woody but with amber and different dark and earthy scents... The lather itself surprised me at how it exploded after only 30 seconds of loading, the water ratio I need to work on.

But I'd say cushion - 8/10, slickness - 8/10, residual slip - 9/10, scent strength - 7/10

Thanks for the nice photos here and the thorough review elsewhere! Judging by the photos and the review, the new artisan has some things (such as packaging, brand recognizability) to iron out, but it seems they are off to a fairly good start nevertheless.

What you said reminds me a lot of the LASSCo experience I had today. More about that here:
