My wife was visiting a friend a few weeks ago and found this "shave soap" at a farmer's market.  The scent is very nice with a bourbon-leather like vibe



I decided to give it a try this morning.  Quite possibly one of the most disappointing lathers I've ever had the displeasure to whip up!  Like Nero says, a good lather has no suds.  Well, this certainly isn't going to be classified as a good lather...



The above photo was taken after about 8 minutes of face-lathering.  By the time I took the pic, the lather that remained on my face had dissipated by at least two thirds!  No way I was I putting blade to skin with this #@!%!!!

At this point I was running late for my first appointment of the day having wasted so much precious time on such a disaster of a lather.   So I went the other end of the "quality" spectrum and grabbed the Laugar.  Now this is a lather I'm happy to shave with...



So what did I tell the wife when she asked me about her purchase?  I told her the truth...it's a very nice scent that pairs well with one of my favorite CL splashes.  And that is the truth, just not the whole truth

So, you look forward to her buying you the rest of their offerings? (Since you 'liked it')
