Savon de rasage anesse boite (La Savonnerie Bourbonnaise) ★☆☆☆☆ cedar, lemongrass
Of the 162 soaps I've tried, this is probably the second worst. It smells good, and a stiff boar brush fully charged with it will produce a lather. But it's a sorry, thin, wispy, entirely unstable lather that evaporates half way through the first pass. The soap is based on olive and coconut oils. They work great in hand soaps, but with only one or two exceptions, this combination of ingredients makes a lousy shave soap. Donkey milk and Shea butter contribute some softness, but the lather offers no cushion whatsoever. A shave with this soap is usually followed immediately by le feu du rasage - red, prickly skin and a fiery oath that I will never pick this up again.
